Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300-1350
About
Step into Siena with an introductory tour of Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300 ‒1350.
A golden moment for art, a catalyst of change. Artists Duccio, Simone Martini and the brothers Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti are forging a new way of painting. They paint with a drama that no one has seen before. Faces show emotion. Bodies move in space. Stories flow across panels in colourful scenes.
This tour is hosted by an expert guide who will share detailed anecdotes and narrative about the exhibition.
Please meet at the Getty Desk located in Annenberg Court.
