Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300-1350: golden glory at the National Gallery

The Annunciate Virgin, about 1326-34. By Simone Martini. [

By James Brewer

Some of the most glorious, God-fearing artwork early in the 14th century came from a man who was supposedly so disdainful of the authorities that later commentators pronounced him to be the archetypal bohemian artist.

Restoring the Heart of Astypalea: The Revival of Lady Portaitissa Church

A Community’s Effort to Rebuild a Historic Landmark
