Original artwork description:
Artwork in figurative expressionist style that represents the imaginary portrait of Simone Martini (1284 - 1344), painter and miniaturist among the greatest and most influential artists of the Italian Trecento. Even if ancient testimonies speak of his physical appearance as not very attractive, he was nevertheless one of the great masters of the Sienese School. Considered the symbolic artist of the city of Siena in the Middle Ages, he had an importance equal to that of Giotto. The background of the painting recalls one of his most famous works, the fresco "Guidoriccio da Fogliano", located in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena.
