14th-century Siena: The art that shaped the future | National Gallery
The artists Duccio, Simone Martini and the brothers Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti were not afraid to paint in a new way - and each brought their own innovations to the works they produced. Note that in this film we see a digital animation of the 'Maestà' 'inside' Siena cathedral. It is not intended as a formal reconstruction and it is not to scale. Visit Siena to imagine their marvellous altarpieces reinstated and smaller devotional pieces in the hands of the people who commissioned them.
