Take the following as truth: Besides the works of the 14th-century masters Duccio, Pietro, and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, as well as Simone Martini, see Siena's 16th-century Mannerists, painting at a time when the Renaissance teetered on the brink of effete Beccafei's dreamy Birth of Mary and a highly decorative Christ at the Column by Sodoma.
Then the following statement: "The 16th century was a turbulent yet transformative time in Renaissance art." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: Inconclusive
