This overview, now revised and updated, is an essential introduction to this extraordinary artistic tradition. Taking a broadly chronological approach, it moves from the 14th-century Siena of Duccio, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti brothers, to the 15th-century city of Sassetta and Giovanni di Paolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerceptive visual analysis of the distinctive styles and conventions of Sienese painting is combined with clear explanations of traditional techniques such as fresco and tempera.

A rich cast is brought to life, partly through their own writings.
