Understanding The Allegory of Good and Bad Government
Detail Image of Angel holding proclamation and peasants working the fields, noblemen riding on the outskirts of Siena c.1337
The Allegory of Good
and Bad Government merges elements of secular life with references to
the significance of religion as part of daily life of the people. It is a painted fresco
that covers three of four walls of the room. Half the population of Sienna
was dead less then 10 years after this painting was created during the
great plague.
Ambrogio Lorenzetti and his brother Pietro were some of first victims. ☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼☼ ☼☼☼☼☼
