| book description |

An exploration of a crucial turning point in Italian art, the early 1300s in the city of Siena   “This is a book to be savored and treasured, much like the objects it celebrates.”—Ann Landi, Wall Street Journal   In the early 1300s, the city of Siena gave rise to an extraordinary period of creativity and innovation. Painters, sculptors, and goldsmiths produced remarkable works whose impact was felt far beyond the city’s walls. From vast altarpieces to portable objects for private devotion, the art emanating from Siena left an enduring legacy.   This book explores a crucial turning point in Italian art when the prestige of painting reached new heights. Siena became the centre of a rich exchange of ideas, as painters took inspiration from marble and ivory sculptures, intricate metalwork, and precious imported silks to enhance the power of their work. Travelling beyond their native city, Sienese artists made their mark across Italy and into northern Europe. Beautifully illustrated and featuring important new scholarship, chapters explore masterpieces by four of Siena’s most illustrious painters—Duccio, Simone Martini, and Ambrogio and Pietro Lorenzetti—alongside objects in other media and from other countries and cultures, encouraging fresh perspectives and dialogues between these groundbreaking works.   Published by National Gallery Global/Distributed by Yale University Press   Exhibition Schedule:   The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (13 October 2024–26 January 2025)   The National Gallery, London (8 March–22 June 2025)
