Pietro Lorenzetti

He was known as Petruccio di Lorenzo in 1306, suggesting he was still a young man.¹

The Arezzo Polyptych, commissioned in 1320 by Bishop Guido Tarlati, is Lorenzetti's first dated work.¹

The Carmelite Altarpiece was commissioned in 1329 and features an illusion of three-dimensional forms, marking a new phase in Lorenzetti's style.¹

The Birth of the Virgin, his last major work from 1342, was a triptych altarpiece commissioned for Siena Cathedral.¹

He is presumed to have died in Siena around 1348, a victim of the Black Death.²
