The city of Siena, one of Italy?s major artistic centres, was home to many celebrated painters, among them Duccio, Simone Martini, Ambrogio and Pietro Lorenzetti, Sassetta and Beccafumi. This generously illustrated book provides a survey of Sienese painting from 1260 to 1555, an era of extraordinary artistic creativity in the Tuscan city. Art historian Diana Norman addresses the style and artistic technique of Sienese painters throughout the three centuries and explores why paintings were made, where they were originally seen, and how they were used and enjoyed by their audiences. The book focuses on works of art made for Siena itself, many of which are still to be seen within the city. Norman organizes the discussion around types of commissions and throughout the book situates the paintings within the context of the political, social, and religious circumstances of late medieval and renaissance Siena.

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Sehr guter Zustand / Very good condition. - The city of Siena, one of Italy's major artistic centres, was home to many celebrated painters, among them Duccio, Simone Martini, Ambrogio and Pietro Lorenzetti, Sassetta and Beccafumi. This generously illustrated book provides a survey of Sienese painting from 1260 to 1555, an era of extraordinary artistic creativity in the Tuscan city. Art historian Diana Norman addresses the style and artistic technique of Sienese painters throughout the three centuries and explores why paintings were made, where they were originally seen, and how they were used and enjoyed by their audiences.The book focuses on works of art made for Siena itself, many of which are still to be seen within the city. Norman organizes the discussion around types of commissions and examines selected works by well-known and lesser-known artists, as well as non-Sienese painters who worked in the city, including Pintoricchio, Signorelli, and Sodoma. She examines the style, technique, subject matter, circumstances of commissioning, and function of particular paintings that demonstrate not only the inherent richness of Sienese art but also its original and distinctive relationship to artistic developments elsewhere in Italy. Norman also explores the high degree of continuity within Sienese painting, shedding light on the frequency of images of the Virgin Mary and on the common practice of Sienese painters in emulating earlier, highly venerated paintings in the city. Throughout the book, the author situates the works within the context of the political, social and religious circumstances of late medieval and renaissance Siena. / CONTENTS: Foreword -- Introduction -- Topography -- Patrons -- Types of Painting -- The Profession of Painter -- Social Status and Reputation -- Early Sienese Painting (1260-1300) Early Maesta Other Sacred Art Secular Art -- The 'Golden Age' of Sienese Painting (1300-1355) -- Duccio's Maesta -- Altarpieces for the City's Churches -- Civic Art in the Palazzo Pubblico -- Paintings for the Friars -- Altarpieces for the Cathedral -- Private ArtCrises, Changes and Continuities: Sienese Painting -- (1355-1420) -- The Spedale and its Patronage of Art -- San Leonardo al Lago -- Bartolo Fredi at Montalcino -- More Altarpieces for the Cathedral -- The Cathedral Sacristy: Frescoes and Furnishings -- Frescoes in the Palazzo Pubblico -- Diversity and Versatility -- Saint Catherine of Siena -- Renaissance Painting in Siena (1420-1480) -- New Ways of Honouring the Virgin -- Celebrating New Saints -- Paintings for the Spedale -- Paintings for the Cathedral Baptistery -- Paintings for the Palazzo Pubblico -- Renaissance Altarpieces -- Paintings for the Private 'Chamber' -- Siena and Renaissance Italy -- The Later Renaissance in Siena (1480-1555) -- Collaboration in the Bichi Chapel -- The Piccolomini Library -- The 'Magnificent Chamber' of Pandolfo Petrucci -- Portraits and Painted Furnishings -- Palace Embellishment -- The Oratory of Saint Bernardino -- Continuing the Cult of Saint Catherine -- Three Altarpiece Commissions -- Civic Piety in the Palazzo Pubblico -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Photograph Credits -- Index.
