Sienese School

The Sienese School refers to a group of influential Italian painters and artists centered in Siena from the 13th to 15th centuries. Known for their distinctive style, they emphasized rich color, elegant lines, and spiritual expression. Their works often featured detailed, decorative qualities and a focus on religious themes. Notable artists include Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti brothers. The Sienese School played a key role in the development of Gothic art in Italy, contrasting with the more naturalistic approach of the Florentine School. Their contributions left a lasting impact on medieval and early Renaissance art.
