Siena

Fresco in the Piccolomini Library in the Duomo of Siena





This paint is from Siena.And it is a library,it was build by Pope Pius III in honour of his uncle, Pope Pius II (Aeneas Piccolomini) and decorate with frescoes by Pinturicchio between 1502 and 1508. The picture is about some people was meet to "Emperor Frederick".It describe about a king and a girl are having
marriage agreement.I think this maybe is just a political marriage.


Madonna Painting

This is a copy of a painting by "Ugolino di Nerio"
,a 14th century painter in Siena.This is a school that teaches traditional tempera gothic painting in Siena. It is very pretty and refined.And around
the Madonna was all gold !!The painter casting the gold so careful and resplendent.I think even the people in Renaissance advocate provident,but
some think was still a little waste.

You did the part about the paintings very nicely, but forgot to read a site and talk about what you did there and what you learned. That was also half of the assignment.
