With over a hundred works drawn from the collections of The Met, the National Gallery in London, and dozens of other lenders, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's ongoing exhibit Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300–1350, is an absolute triumph of the sublime. Boasting an impressive array of paintings, sculptures, and textiles by influential Sienese masters such as Duccio, Lorenzetti, Martini, and others, the viewer is offered an exhilarating glimpse of the dawn of the Italian Renaissance. Rooted in faith and tradition, it is a glorious celebration of Western art.
