A beautifully illustrated and unprecedented examination of art from Renaissance Siena Siena flourished as a major artistic center during the Italian Renaissance, fuelled by the patronage of powerful and wealthy families, and the results were remarkable for their virtuoso beauty and strong sense of civic identity. This is the first major book in English to showcase a breathtaking and diverse range of masterpieces and discuss in depth how art was shaped and sustained to provide a unique artistic language for Siena––prior to the city’s possession in 1557 by Cosimo de Medici of Florence, its cultural and political rival. Renaissance Siena presents paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Francesco di Giorgio and Domenico Beccafumi, two of the greatest Sienese artists of the period, along with Matteo di Giovanni, Benvenuto di Giovanni, and visiting artists such as Luca Signorelli and Pintoricchio. These artists combined exquisite color, decoration, sinuous line, and delicate beauty with ambitious compositions and figurative styles to establish one of the most distinctive and elegant schools of Italian art. With a chronology and artists’ biographies, this comprehensive book features essays by leading scholars that discuss all aspects of Sienese art––including issues of patronage, the role of politics and foreign artists in influencing style and production, and public versus private spaces.

Piero della Francesca was born in Borgo San Sepolcro, in a family of artisans and merchants, probably sometime between 1415 and 1420. Piero was in Florence around 1439, and his stay there became fundamental to his development, with his career as a painter beginning by Piero working with Domenico Veneziano on the frescoes in the choir of the church of Sant' Egidio. One of the most important aspects of Piero's work is his combination of the Florentine-based perspective-based art with the Netherlandish concentration on the study of light and natural phenomena. Piero della Francesca examines the life and works of Piero, from his formative years in Florence, to the Fresco Cycle in the Church of San Francesco in Arezzo, to his later works and the development of Linear Perspective in Italian Painting.
