Sienese painting

Sienese painting is an art style that developed in Siena, Italy, during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It is characterized by its elegant, decorative approach, with rich colors, intricate patterns, and a focus on spiritual themes. Sienese artists often used gold leaf and detailed storytelling to evoke emotion and reverence. Their work emphasizes beauty and harmony, blending Gothic traditions with a growing sense of naturalism. This style distinguishes itself from Florentine art through its ornate surfaces and lyrical qualities, creating a warm, mystical atmosphere that captures both religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship.
