Description

The painting Madonna Enthroned with Angels by Pietro Lorenzetti is a masterpiece of Italian Gothic art from the 14th century. The work, which measures 145 x 122 cm, presents a symmetrical and balanced composition that focuses on the central figure of the Virgin Mary seated on a throne with her son Jesus on her lap.

The artistic style of the work is typical of Italian Gothic, with its meticulous attention to detail and its use of perspective and depth to create a sense of three-dimensional space. The angels surrounding the Virgin Mary are depicted with a delicacy and elegance that reflects the influence of the Sienese school, of which Lorenzetti was a member.

The use of color in the painting is another highlight. The Virgin Mary and Jesus are dressed in soft, warm tones, while the angels are dressed in bright, vibrant colors that contrast beautifully against the gold background. The details in the faces and clothing of the Virgin Mary and Jesus are impressive, and the folds of their clothing are rendered with amazing precision.

The history of painting is fascinating. It was created for the church of San Francesco in Siena and is believed to have been commissioned by the Tolomei family, one of the most influential families in the city at the time. The painting was restored several times over the centuries, which has contributed to its exceptional state of preservation.

A little known aspect of the painting is that it is believed to be one of the last works of Pietro Lorenzetti, who died shortly after it was created. The work is an impressive example of the artist's talent and skill, and is one of the most important works of Italian Gothic art.
