Description:
|
|
In 1407-1408 Spinello was employed alongside Taddeo di Bartolo and Martino di Bartolomeo (died 1435) to decorate state rooms in the Palazzo Pubblico, Siena. He was the first non-Sienese painter to work there. The scenes from the Life of Pope Alexander III (reigned 1159-1181) in the Sala di Balia are political in content and were painted during and just after a visit to Siena by Pope Gregory XII (reigned 1406-1415). The cycle was a reminder to the current pope of a great Sienese pope who, with the Lombard League, had defeated Frederick I Barbarossa, leading to the Peace of Venice, 1177. The naval battle between the Italians (Venetians) and Germans occurred off the coast of Sicily. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
