Simone
lived in Assisi for a time, where he produced one of his greatest
frescoes, illustrating scenes from the life of St. Martin for
the chapel of St. Martin. In 1339, at the request of Pope Benedict
XII, he went to Avignon, where he executed frescoes in the papal
palace and the cathedral. Among his works are Saint John the
Baptist (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.) and The Annunciation
(1333, Uffizi Gallery, Florence), considered one of the greatest
achievements of the Sienese school. |
