Description
Summary:"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 traces the evolution of a celebrated era of Italian art, a turning point when the prestige of painting reached new heights. Siena became the centre of a rich exchange of ideas between artists and art forms, 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"--
