He was also called '''Luca d'Egidio di Ventura''' and '''Luca da Cortona'''. He is one of the most important painters of the [[Renaissance]] in [[Italy]]. He was good at painting [[Perspective (graphical)|perspective]]. One of the techniques he used is called ''foreshortening'' - with it a distance appears shorter than it actually is, because the object painted is shown at an angle. From 1499 to 1503, he painted a series of [[fresco]]es in [[Orvieto Cathedral]], called ''the Last Judgement''. This is what he is remembered for most. {{biography-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Signorelli, Luca}} [[Category:15th-century Italian painters]] [[Category:1440s births]] [[Category:1523 deaths]] [[Category:16th-century Italian painters]]
