Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book provides a comprehensive historical overview of Sienese painting from its beginnings in the mid-1200s, to the Baroque period (1600), and explains how the idea of a separate Sienese school came into being. In text and colour illustrations, the authors trace the evolution of Sienese painting through the centuries, discussing such great masters as Duccio di Buoninsegna, his pupil Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti brothers in the 13th and 14th centuries; Sassetta, Vecchietta, Francesco di Giorgio and Pietro di Domenico in the 15th century; and Signorelli, Perugino, Pinturicchio, Sodoma, Domenico Beccafumi and Salimbeni in the 16th and 17th centuries.
