Scholars agree that Duccio, Martini, and others were formal radicals in their day, experimenting with naturalism, painted text, and multi-panel formats while others were still bogged down by the artistic baggage of the Byzantine and Gothic eras. But time has been unkind to these Sienese artists, who are only given a brief mention in Art History 101 courses, where Florentine painters still exert a strong, centrifugal force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Move over, Giotto and Cimabue: here comes the\u00a0<a id=\"auto-tag_metropolitan-museum-of-art\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\" data-tag=\"metropolitan-museum-of-art\">Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/a>\u2019s long-awaited blockbuster about early Sienese painting, a superlative show that has the potential to reorder this slice of the Western canon. The exhibition, which opens on Sunday and travels to London\u2019s National Gallery after appearing in New York, is an embarrassment of riches, and not only because the art on view is of such a high caliber.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\u201cSiena: The Rise of Painting, 1300\u20131350,\u201d as the show is formally titled, is arguably the most ambitious exhibition staged in New York since the onset of the pandemic. Broken-up masterpieces by Duccio and Martini have been reunited here, and an entire altarpiece by Pietro Lorenzetti has made the voyage from a church in Arezzo. Many of these works are not commonly seen in the US; many more are exceedingly rare. (The exhibition is the product of years of labor on the part of curators Stephan Wolohojian, Laura Llewellyn, Caroline Campbell, and Joanna Cannon.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-043-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg?w=400\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-043-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-043-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg?resize=400,267 400w\" alt=\"A grouping of gold-leafed paintings of religious figures, including the Virgin Mary and child and various saints.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Works by Duccio in the Met\u2019s Sienese art show.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">PHOTO EILEEN TRAVELL\/COURTESY THE MET<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Consider the fact only around a dozen works by Duccio are known to scholars. Now consider the fact that many of them currently hang in the Met\u2019s galleries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">A number of the Duccio paintings here belong to the\u00a0<em>Maest\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0(1308\u201311), an altarpiece whose panels were taken apart and distributed in the intervening centuries. The greatest achievement of this show is reassembling all eight of the remaining panels of the predella (the raised area at the bottom of an altarpiece). Each painting offers its own thrills, but I couldn\u2019t tear my eyes away from\u00a0<em>The Transfiguration<\/em>, in which Jesus Christ stands stoically on a craggy peak, his disciples looking on with a mixture of surprise and horror.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Byzantine artists frequently depicted this scene and many others rendered by Duccio, but their approach was comparatively staid, with Jesus appearing to reside in a flattened universe meant to resemble the heavens. Duccio, on the other hand, pulls Jesus down to earth, plopping him onto the top of a hill that might be found somewhere in Italy. The pastel pinks and greens on the disciples\u2019 robes mark a departure from the depressing browns of art that came before him. So, too, does the drama of his composition, which pits rows of people against the diagonals of the rocky outcroppings all around\u2014a Giotto-esque flourish, to be sure, but one filtered through Duccio\u2019s personal tastes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/The-Annunciation_Ambrogio-Lorenzetti.jpg?w=400\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/The-Annunciation_Ambrogio-Lorenzetti.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/The-Annunciation_Ambrogio-Lorenzetti.jpg?resize=400,416 400w\" alt=\"A painting of an angel emitting a flow of words from his mouth that run toward the Virgin Mary's crossed hands.

Along with Duccio, these artists produced religious works that still retain their unearthly glow. The Met\u2019s installation cast these works largely in hushed darkness, with many of the works spotlit so they can quite literally shine. That\u2019s because all four artists make heavy use of gold leaf, in some cases eschewing backgrounds altogether in favor of fields of glowing metal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">The technique was not entirely new: Byzantine artists also relied upon gold leaf, frequently portraying the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ against monochromatic backgrounds to remove them from reality. But the joy of a painting like Martini\u2019s\u00a0<em>Virgin and Child with Four Saints and a Dominican Nun<\/em>\u00a0(ca. 1325) is that the work hovers between this realm and the next. Its raised, patterned background and the austere gazes of its figures heighten the magisterial quality of it all, yet gravity tugs at the sleeve of the Virgin\u2019s deep blue veil, reminding viewers that she is subject to the same invisible forces as the rest of us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">The Virgin Mary recurs in nearly every work in this show, perhaps because the Sienese felt a particularly deep connection to her. Siena\u2019s residents believed themselves to be personally protected by her; the city\u2019s seal during the mid-13th century spoke of her \u201cloveliness\u201d in seeking her blessing. Their religious beliefs only ended up being confirmed in 1260, when Sienese forces unexpectedly clobbered their Florentine opponents in battle, giving way to a financial boom in the century to come.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Healing-of-the-Man-Born-Blind_Duccio-di-Buoninsegna.jpg?w=400\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Healing-of-the-Man-Born-Blind_Duccio-di-Buoninsegna.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Healing-of-the-Man-Born-Blind_Duccio-di-Buoninsegna.jpg?resize=400,389 400w\" alt=\"A painting of Christ raising a finger to a blind man with a cane.

Located in the center of Tuscany, it was sited along the via Fracigena, a pilgrimage route that ran all the way from Canterbury, England, to Rome, with stops along the way in France and Switzerland. Goods traveled with merchants journeying down this road, but so did artistic ideas, making this hub a font of stylistic hybridity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Gothic-style ivories from France and textiles from Central Asia figure heavily in this show, which attempts to uncover Sienese artists\u2019 inspirations. It is indisputable, for example, that Duccio\u2019s biblical characters are often garbed in clothes adorned with Islamic patterning derived from Turkish textiles. But here, it\u2019s less interesting to see the textiles referenced than to read about them. Their presence here reinforces what is already obvious: that Duccio displayed a deft hand at combining and recombining motifs and styles from others\u2019 art, then putting his own spin on them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-039-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg?w=400\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-039-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-039-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg?resize=400,267 400w\" alt=\"An altarpiece composed of saints surrounding the Virgin and child.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Pietro Lorenzetti\u2019s\u00a0<em>Tarlati Altarpiece<\/em>\u00a0(1320) left an Arezzo church for the Met show.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">PHOTO EILEEN TRAVELL\/COURTESY THE MET<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Local influences are traced more compellingly. Duccio died in 1319, and this show suggests that even after he passed, his art proved so magnetic that others in Siena cribbed liberally from it. Martini, for example, began making polyptychs\u2014multi-painting altarpieces\u2014in the mode of Duccio, whose minimalism he discarded in favor of more extravagant compositions. His\u00a0<em>Orsini Polyptych<\/em>\u00a0(ca. 1335\u201340) features four paintings of Jesus\u2019s final days prior to his resurrection, with each image appearing to spill into the next. A parade of people in one picture appears to head straight from his deposition to his entombment. Martini showed that a narrative could unfold across multiple paintings, further demonstrating that Duccio and Giotto were on the right track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Crucial, too, is the fact that that the\u00a0<em>Orsini Polyptych<\/em>\u00a0was designed to be portable\u2014it did not need to be seen in a church to achieve its full power. Before it was sawed apart, Duccio\u2019s\u00a0<em>Maest\u00e0<\/em>\u00a0could only be viewed in one place. The\u00a0<em>Orsini Polyptych<\/em>, on the other hand, could initially be folded up and toted around by its patron, the cardinal Napoleone Orsini, who could worship its pictures in private.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">The\u00a0<em>Orsini Polyptych<\/em>\u00a0was produced about a century before the Renaissance, when artists began to paint secular subject matter and their contemporaries. But works like that one helped move painting beyond the church, into the world beyond it. To stand before these paintings by Duccio, Martini, and the Lorenzettis is to watch painting get where it was going.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-087-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg?w=400\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-087-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DP-35961-087-JPG-Original-300dpi.jpg?resize=400,267 400w\" alt=\"Four gold-leafed paintings showing Biblical scenes, including, from left to right, Christ toting the crucifix amid a crowd, Christ on the cross, his deposition, and his burial.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\"><span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Simone Martini\u2019s\u00a0<em>Orsini Polyptych<\/em>\u00a0(ca. 1335\u201340) was reunited for the Met\u2019s show.<\/span><cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">PHOTO EILEEN TRAVELL\/COURTESY THE MET<\/cite><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">And where was painting going? Somewhere a bit more outwardly intellectual, perhaps, and maybe even somewhere a bit less visually dazzling. Part of the joy of the Met show is getting a glimpse at painting in its transitional state. In Duccio\u2019s day, the rules of perspective and composition had yet to be formalized, and painting of his caliber was still meant mainly for religious institutions. Yet he and his colleagues needled artistic conventions in such a way that one can still feel the friction that resulted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\">Martini\u2019s\u00a0<em>Christ on the Cross<\/em><\/a>\u00a0(ca. 1340), one of the final paintings in the show, thrums with a kind of awkwardness that\u2019s only possible when art is still between movements. Here, the body of a scrawny Jesus gushes blood, sending a rivulet of scarlet down his crucifix and onto the ground below. There are no trees, no clouds, no animals, no people\u2014just a gold-leaf backdrop and a low, uneven hill at Jesus\u2019s feet. Jesus\u2019s vital fluids drip across that hill\u2019s ridges; one senses that they would only continue to flow downward toward civilization. There is an entire world beyond this painting, even if it isn\u2019t represented.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source\uff1ahttps:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florence\u2019s Uffizi Gallery is one of the most heavily trafficked museums in the world, and it certainly feels that way, especially when you have to jostle with selfie-taking tourists for a good view of famed Botticellis and Leonardos.
