After reading Chapter 18, viewing the Power Point, and the attached videos (included in the Power Point) answer the following questions. 1. How do Ambrogio Lorenzetti’s frescoes for Siena’s Palazzo Pubblico relate to the sociopolitical context of Siena at the time? What’s most interesting about these paintings to you and why? 2. Visit The National Gallery’s (London) Sainsbury Wing (Room 51) for a virtual (3D) tour of Early Renaissance Art (link below). Scroll in Room 51 and view the paintings. Select one 14th century Italian painting in this room and write a brief description of the artwork. Then briefly interpret its meaning and function as it relates to the art that you have studied for this week. What connections can you make? Be sure that you provide the full label for the work (artist, title, date) and the image with your post. Enjoy the tour! https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/visiting/virtual-tours/sainsbury-wing-vr-tour
