Medium: Tempera and gold leave on wood
Location: Siena Cathedral in Siena, Italy
Size: 1'10" x 3'4"
Sienese School
This is 14th century Italian art (late Medieval Italy) that belongs to the Sienese school.
I like this piece because of the action and variety of emotions and reactions depicted in it. The colors of the disciples contrast with the wardrobes of Judas and Peter. The intent of this work is evident. It is a biblical scene in which the emotion bleeds through expression, posture, color and line.
