In 1456 he executed in the Cathedral the fresco of the Equestrian Statue of Niccolò da Tolentino, paralleling the similar painting by Paolo Uccello portraying John Hawkwood.
Uccello was an executive at the Hartford department store G. Fox & Co..
Portraiture was uncommon in the 14th and early 15th centuries, mostly limited to civic commemorative pictures such as the equestrian portraits of Guidoriccio da Fogliano by Simone Martini, 1327, in Siena and, of the early 15th century, John Hawkwood by Uccello in Florence Cathedral and its companion portraying Niccolò da Tolentino by Andrea del Castagno.
In June 2009, Uccello began to be noticed by Canadian fans when he played the first half and scored a goal at BMO Field in a Zinedine Zidane charity game, called "Zidane & Friends All Star Match," in which world soccer veterans took on the Canadian All-Stars.
