Artlyst - Siena: The Creative Achievement Of Christendom

My latest exhibition review for Artlyst is on Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300 ‒1350 at National Gallery:

"... this exhibition opens up another world, a world of devotion and worship that, given the beauty and wonder of these works, we will certainly wish to revisit and maybe even seek to recapture. ‘The Telegraph’ rightly billed this exhibition in advance as Christian art becoming the National Gallery’s next smash hit. That is so, as what this exhibition principally reveals is the immense creative achievement of Christendom and the evolving nature of that achievement."

For more on Saint Francis see here, Fra Angelico see here, Donatello see here, Cranach and Dürer see here and here, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael see here and here, and Caravaggio see here and here.
