FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO MARTINI
(b. 1439, Siena, d. 1502, Siena)

Madonna and Child

c. 1472
Panel, 75 x 51 cm
Musée du Petit Palais, Avignon

This painting shows the evolution of the painting of Francesco di Giorgio toward the Florentine style of Verrocchio and Alessio Baldovinetti. However, the extravagant architecture affirms the originality of the Sienese master.
