The artists Duccio, Simone Martini and the brothers Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti were not afraid to paint in a new way - and each brought their own innovations to the works they produced. 

Note that in this film we see a digital animation of the 'Maestà' 'inside' Siena cathedral. It is not intended as a formal reconstruction and it is not to scale.

Visit Siena to imagine their marvellous altarpieces reinstated and smaller devotional pieces in the hands of the people who commissioned them.

Filmed on location in Siena and in the National Gallery, watch as curators along with local experts and artists introduce us to the leading artists and their exquisite influential works.
