Amazon.com
Sienese painting is often thought of in reference to the strikingly colorful and beautifully designed paintings of Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti brothers, from the dawn of the Italian Renaissance. This sumptuous book carefully traces that glorious early heritage. But it also extends its reach forward to about 1700 in order to include many later artists, with whom readers may not be as familiar, such as Rutilio Manetti, whose passionate style was radically altered after he came into contact with the revolutionary work of Caravaggio. The last chapters contain Baroque paintings of extraordinary color and warmth, such as Domenico Beccafumi's shadowy, sweet Annunciation. Nonetheless, it is the almost magically compelling early Sienese masters who dominate this volume. Lorenzetti's intricate Effects of Good Government in the Town and Countryside, for example, from the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, is thoughtfully reproduced both in its entirety, in a four-page fold-out, and in many details that do justice to such minutiae as the chain holding two hunting dogs together, or a pheasant flushed from a wheat field. Even amateur art lovers will sense both the piety and the struggle toward naturalism that inform the earliest of these works. The angel whispering to the saint, the rich red robe of Christ, Mary's sober countenance--all seem imbued with fervor, both painterly and religious.
This book gives the reader the closest possible look at these masterworks. It is organized chronologically, with thoroughly documented texts on each period and every work, printed in excellent, well-spaced type. One small flaw in an otherwise beautifully designed book: there are no dates or measurements in the captions. --Peggy Moorman

'Sienese Painting' is a sumptuously produced book (it has some 350 illustrations, with 200 in colour) and as a general survey certainly does its job well. It does have a flaw however, namely in the lack of clear connections between the text and the illustrations.Indeed in a number of instances references are made in the text to paintings which are frustratingly not illustrated. There is a positive side to this of course: one's reading experience becomes much more interactive as one searches over a number of pages for the painting which is being discussed. Finding it becomes a real, and memorable, pleasure! This is really the only large survey of Sienese painting currently available and given that it has so many wonderful illustrations and a generally informative text I would, even with the above reservation, recommend it.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This volume is the ideal resource for those interested in the scholarship and pictorial wonder of the Sienese painters in Early Renaissance art. The enlarged sections are magnificently rendered. A wonderful alternative companion volume to the 1988 Met exhibition catalog (Painting in Renaissance Siena)which is unfortunately now out of print. A masterwork indeed.

I really enjoy this book but it is not for everyone. If you have a degree in art or a good knowledge of Italian art then I would suggest it. The Sienese painter's were in a class of their own and comparing them to the rest of Italian art of this period is interesting.
