"Effects of Good Government in the City and in the Country" with "Peaceful Country" (a panorama)

Ambrogio Lorenzetti, "Effects of Good Government in the City and in the Country" with "Peaceful Country"

This is a fresco panorama that compares and contrasts the country side of Tuscany city of Siena. Features like the rolling peaceful hills and starry night of the countryside are contrasted with the bustling markets, towers, streets and buildings of the city. My favorite part about this panorama is the cherubic/angelic figure perched over the countryside. According to the textbook, the figure represents security and safety to all who live under the law.
This figure is ironic because of the Bubonic Plague that devastated Europe and wiped out 25-50% of the population just after this work was completed.

This work was made mid 14th century and belongs to the international gothic styles.
