Siena is home to a pictorial tradition that would prove fundamental to the history of Western art. From the 13th to the 15th century, painters succeeded one another there, developing a new language, marking a major evolution in the representation of the human figure and in that of space, architecture, and landscape.
This particular stylistic path will also lead to the early integration of the Gothic style, perceptible in the elegance of the form and the accuracy of the line.
Furthermore, an extreme refinement of color is expressed, inherited from Byzantine art. The hieratic character of the latter, however, is quickly abandoned in favor of a strong sense of narration.
Because, with their pictorial mastery, artists like Duccio, Simone Martini, the Lorenzetti brothers, Sassetta, Sano di Pietro, Giovanni di Paolo and many others would truly invent a new type of narrative, with the creation of iconographic models. The Siena school, which stood out from Florence and the Italian Renaissance, truly gave birth to a new ars narrandi .
This work mainly brings together the masterpieces of the National Picture Gallery of Siena, presented at the Palais des Beaux-Arts (BOZAR) and at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen.
