The Il Circolo Art Club, is pleased to announce a visit to the exhibition “Siena the Rise of Painting 1300 – 1350” at The National Gallery.
The exhibition showcases Siena’s artistic golden age in the early 14th century. Artists like Duccio, Simone Martini, and the Lorenzetti brothers revolutionized painting with emotional expressions, dynamic figures, and vivid storytelling. The exhibition reunites iconic works, including Duccio’s Maestà altarpiece and Simone Martini’s Orsini polyptych, alongside illuminated manuscripts, gilded glass, and other exquisite artifacts.
With over a hundred exhibits made by artisans working in Siena, Naples, Avignon and beyond, see some of Europe’s earliest, most exquisite and most significant artworks.
