Piero della Francesca, Madonna del Duca da Montefeltro, circa 1472, 1984

Andy Warhol’s Madonna Del Duca Da Montefeltro offers a bold reinterpretation of Piero della Francesca’s Brera Madonna, isolating a single architectural detail – the semi-dome with a suspended ostrich egg. Originally part of a sacred conversation scene featuring the Virgin Mary, Child, saints, and patron Federico da Montefeltro, Warhol’s cropped version removes the figures entirely, shifting the focus to structure and symbolism. This transformation exemplifies his ability to reframe historical masterpieces through a Pop Art lens, turning a religious tableau into an exploration of form and modern visual language. Warhol's decision to omit the Virgin and Child could be seen as radical, even sacrilegious, yet it allows for a deeper appreciation of della Francesca’s meticulous use of perspective. Warhol’s vibrant coloration further distances the work from its Renaissance origins. 
Unlike the other three motifs that are part of the Details of Renaissance Paintings suite, this edition is composed of 36 entirely unique trial proofs.
