Simone Martini and Lippo Memmi
Siena Cathedral 1333 BCE
Tempera and gold leaf on wood
International Gothic Style
Martini was a pupil of Duccio's who helped create the international gothic style through his use of elegant shapes, bright colors, continuing lines and seemingly weightless figures in a golden spaceless setting.
Martini was a close friend of Petrarch's.
