Pietro Lorenzetti
"Birth of the Virgin"
Altar of Saint Savinus
Siena, Italy
Tempera on Wood
International Gothic Style
This painting is an example of a triptych, a 3 part panel painting. Like Martini, Lorenzetti was also a student of Duccio's. Lorinzetti contributed greatly to the experiments in pictoral realism of 14th century Italy by achieving a degree of spatial illusionism in this work.
