the best-preesrved work of a mysterious artist In this way, Pietro Lorenzetti's art is based on a fusion of the styles of Giotto and Duccio, the two great Trecento masters.

start at the feet This painting dates from the so-called Golden Age of Siena. However, his style departs from Duccio’s in the jewel-like use of color and intricate application of gold ornaments. The solidity of his massive, statuesque figures (particularly the figure in the orange cloak) recall Giotto’s pioneering style. Overall, it was well worth the extravagant price-tag!
