Simone Martini

Simone Martini, a master of the Sienese school, painted with grace and grace. His style is defined by its refined elegance, evident in the flowing drapery, delicate figures with elongated proportions, and subtle, almost ethereal expressions. Think of Martini as the "Maestro of Marvelous Modesty": his religious scenes, often featuring the Virgin Mary, are infused with a gentle humanity and avoidance of harsh realism. He favored bright, rich colors and intricate details, creating a sense of opulent beauty. Themes of piety, courtly love, and divine grace dominate his works.
