AMBROGIO LORENZETTI

C. 1290 – C. I348 (?)

We tend to see Gothic art as something reserved exclusively for churches, and there can be no doubt that the development of ne artistic techniques and media was primarily fuelled by ecclesiastical commissions. There nevertheless evidence that a large and impor ant body of secular art was also created between the 13th and 15th centuries. Historic sources document commissions for paintings almost none of which have survived into the present.
