(b. ca. 1280, Siena, d. 1348, Siena)

Polyptych

1320
Tempera on wood
Pieve di Santa Maria, Arezzo

This polyptych has fortunately been preserved in its entirety is still in its original setting. It is a fine example of a fourteenth-century polyptych which centres around the image of the Virgin and Child. The size of the figures shown in the various tiers gradually gets smaller. The influence of Duccio is obvious.
