  Ambrogio Lorenzetti
Lorenzetti - pictori italieni ai secolului XIV (fratii Pietro si Ambrogio), nascuti in Siena, au apartinut scolii Sieneze, dominata de traditia stilistica bizantina dezvoltata de Duccio di Buoninsegna si Simone Martini.
Cei doi frati au fost primii sienezi care au adoptat calitatea dramatica a sculptorului toscan Giovanni Pisano si tenta de naturalete a pictorului florentin, Giotto.
Ambrogio, mai realist, inventiv si cu o mai mare influenta decat Pietro, este cunoscut pentru ciclul de fresce "Buna Oranduiala" si "Proasta Oranduiala," remarcabile atat pentru reprezentarea in detaliu a personajelor.

  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti
Though still more gifted than his brother, Ambrogio also wasted his talents, but owing to a different error, viz., a craze for the allegoric and didactic.
Pietro's aim is to move, Ambrogio's rather to instruct.
In fact it is from these that the finest conceptions of the Renaissance are derived, and the honour of having indirectly inspired Raphael with the "Camera della Segnatura" cannot be disputed with Ambrogio Loienzetti.

  Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti
From this point of view the frescoes of Ambrogio are of great interest; this is perhaps the first example of lay painting and of art used to represent ideas and life, without any religious conception.
To sum up, Ambrogio remains one of the most interesting minds of his time by the very variety of his contradictory talents and the turn of mind at once idealistic and realistic which he displayed, without, unfortunately, succeeding in bringing them into unity.
Besides, Ambrogio, was the first who attempted in Italy philosophic painting and the picturesque expression of general ideas.

Ambrogio created a highly developed Gothicism that was born of a Italo-Byzantine artistic influence.
After he had painted the ideal of civic life, Ambrogio Lorenzetti could paint his mural decorations in the Palazzo Publico, which, partly as pictures of manners, partly as an allegory, depicted the blessings of good government.
A critical change in Ambrogio's life, which strongly influenced his art, was the arrival of the plague, fl death, in Italy.

 Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
The art of the Italian brothers Pietro (active 1306-1348") and Ambrogio (1319-1348") Lorenzetti emerged from the middle-class world of late medieval Siena and was one of the varied manifestations of Tuscan Gothic painting.
Ambrogio infused the ritual of the Presentation with human feeling in the motherly figure of Mary and the swaddled Infant sucking his thumb in unconcerned innocence.
As there is no further documentary notice of Pietro after 1344 or of Ambrogio after 1347, when he addressed the Council of Siena, it is assumed that the two brothers perished in the plague of 1348, which decimated the population of Tuscany and enfeebled the next generation of creative talent.

 Chianti Musei :: Madonna col Bambino, Ambrogio Lorenzetti
The tempera portraying the Madonna and Child is by mutual consent attributed by critics to Ambrogio Lorenzetti and was carried out in 1319 on a commission from a certain "Ducio da Tolano" (Tolano is a tiny hamlet near Vico l'Abate).
He is instead presented like a royal infant, vigorous and lively, His nudity only summarily wrapped in the red covering and with His expressive eyes looking up at his Mother, in clear contrast to her stiff pose and fixed gaze.
Ambrogio Lorenzetti, one of the most important painters of the 14th century, was extraordinarily open to all kinds of new cultural stimulus and elaborated each experience in his own personal way.

Lorenzetti was active between approximately 1306 and 1345.
He and his brother, Ambrogio Lorenzetti, helped introduce naturalism into Sienese art.
The Lorenzetti brothers and their contemporary competitor from Florence, Giotto, but also his followers Daddi and Maso Di Banco, seeded the Italian pictorial revolution that extracted figures from the gilded ether of byzantine iconography into pictorial worlds of towns, land, and air.

Yet the visible signs of the work's display and use, exceptional in the fragmentary history of medieval cartography, mitigate the absence of the monument that gave to the council hall its popular name, the Sala del Mappamondo.
Recalling the role of mappaemundi both in ecclesiastical and royal settings, the Sienese treatment of the theme displaced age-old traditions to further the secular ideology of the commune.
Lorenzetti's map contributed to the elaboration of a civic agenda by appropriating competing discursive "regimes."(3) Finally, I suggest in part five that the Mappamondo may have been part of a programmatic transformation of the Sala del Consiglio itself.

Ambrogio Lorenzetti (1290-1348),A painter who only approaches the height of Giotto, Duccio and Simone Martini, he eccellently represents however the various aspects of the artistic re-awakening of the time.
He had the fortune of being commissioned a vast pictorial cycle in the Palazzo Pubblico (the town Hall) in Siena, that can still be admired today, opening a window, for a backwards view in time, on the physical aspect of Siena and its countryside in the middle of the 14th century.
Ambrogio's painting, mostly superficial, subordinates plastic and spacial values, so pre-eminent in Giotto, to those structural and environmental ones.

One of the high points of small-scale Sienese painting is the so-called Small Maestà by Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
The radiance tends to mask the structure of the composition, yet this is perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the work.
Here Ambrogio has resolved an artistic challenge that he also set himself in a large Maestà at Massa Marittima.
