A Virgem e o Menino

ca. 1326
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 952
Essa pintura em excelente estado de conservação formava parte de um retábulo composto por cinco paineis; um deles, Santo Ansano, figura na Coleção Lehman e o outro, Santo André, também faz parte do Museu. O retábulo foi encomendado pelo governo civil de Siena para a residência do governador, que, por ser alugada, era transferida periodicamente de lugar ao término de cada mandato de seis meses. O painel central, A Virgem e o Menino, era do mesmo tamanho que os painéis laterais e, graças a este desenho insólito, era fácil transportar e pregar o retábulo de uma casa para outra. As cinco pinturas de Simone Martini foram posteriormente integradas em um grande retábulo que foi colocado na capela do Palazzo Pubblico, a câmara municipal de Siena.
