Martine
Simone was a gothic era Italian painter, who was one of the
most original and influential artists of the Sienese school.
Simone was born in Siena. Building on the techniques for indicating
three-dimensional space developed by the Sienese master Duccio
di Buoninsegna, Simone added a refined contour of line, grace
of expression, and serenity of mood. He painted many frescoes,
introducing the fresco technique into the Sienese school. He
also painted altarpiece panels, such as the Virgin and Child
(1320) for the Church of Saint Catherine in Pisa. |
