Description:
|
|
Among Ambrogio’s most significant works are those for the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena. While the Sala dei Nove (meeting chamber of the governing Nine) is an important historical document, its pictorial innovations are still more significant. In the Effects of Good Government, on the east wall, the cityscape displays a spatial organization unique for the period. Even more dramatic is the depiction of the surrounding countryside: the first panoramic landscape since antiquity, it is organized in a manner that would ultimately influence painters as far afield as France and the Netherlands. The countryside provides views of villas and farms in the area around Siena and a nascent conception of aerial perspective. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
