Madonna col Bambino

ca. 1326
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Questo dipinto molto ben conservato, insieme a Sant’Ansano e Sant’Andrea, anch’essi al Museo, faceva parte di una pala d’altare composta da cinque tavole commissionata dal Comune di Siena. La pala era destinata alla dimora del governatore di Siena, che veniva affittata per la durata della carica d’ufficio di sei mesi e veniva periodicamente trasferita. Il disegno insolito della pala, con la tavola centrale, la Madonna col Bambino, delle stesse dimensioni dei pannelli laterali, consentiva di richiuderla facilmente per trasportarla da una dimora all’altra. Tutte e cinque le tavole di Simone Martini furono in seguito integrate in una pala d’altare di dimensioni maggiori in una cappella del Palazzo Pubblico, il palazzo comunale di Siena.
