The Annunciation and Two Saints

Simone Martini
1333
Tempera on wood, 184 x 210 cm
Originally, the altarpiece for the chapel of Sant'Ansano of the Cathedral in Siena.

The two saints are Saint Ansano - patron of Siena - and Saint Giulitta. Their figures are attributed to Martini's brother-in-law Lippo Memmi.

Absolutely stunning artwork! I can see how it was part of an altar.
