ART.

One of the three great painters of the
thirteenth century was Duccio, then at
the head of the art school at Siena. He
never became as famous as Cimabue,
the head of the Florentine school; but
he is considered by most art critics to
be greater painter than his better
known competitor. Giotto became
more famous than Duccio because he
had the advantages of better school
of art than did Duccio, namely that of
Florence. Historians differ as to the
time when Duccio was born,
but it is supposed to be about
1860. Duccio's masterpiece is prob
ably The Burial of the Virgin" which
was carried through the streets in pro
cessions as it was then the custom to
do. He made also very beautiful and
exquisite painting on a pavement in
Siena.

I The second of these three great
masters was Martini who was born in
1884. Martini was a great friend of
Petrarch, the Italian poet and it was
due greatly to his writings that Mar
tini's work became success; and it is
to Petrarch that we owe most of our
knowledge of him and his paintings.
Martini was distinctly Pisan artist.
His best known painting is ''St.
Catherine" which was really a panel
from beautiful fresco, a piece of work
which was then the most artistic in
Pisa. This picture, or rather panel,
painted in 1920. He made a beautiful
fresco in the town hall of Siena which
bears the date, 1916 and his signature,
and is of more than life size. Martins
figures were not always correct, for in
stance, he painted very clumsy, un'
graceful hands and feet; yet with al
these Deficiencies he was minute and
extremely exact.
The last of these masters was
Lorenzetti. He was philosopher, and
very inventive, and bore the many ill
fortunes of his life without complaint
and with great tranquility. His paint
ings are found mostly in the town hall
of Siena where he worked out most of
his designs. He was teacher, and
painted grand allegories, especially of
the life of Christ. He died of the
plague in 1913.
1t must be remembered that at this
time an artist was classed among labor
ing men and only when he reached the
pinnacle of his fame was he introduced
into higher society, especially when he
won favor from kings and princes.

MASTERS OF THE SIENA SCHOOL.

The first really good painter Of the
Siena school was Duccio. He lived
during the latter part of the thirteenth
century. Very few of his paintings re-
main, but what few do remain are his
best. His best painting, 1.-The Burial
of the Virgin" was painted as the altar
piece Of the cathedral at Siena. The
painting still remains. but has been
taken from the altar. The light and
shade in Duccio's paintings are very
good.
The second good painter of this
school is Martini, who also lived in the
latter part of the same century as
Duccio. He was friend of Petrarch,
the poet, to whom we owe our know
ledge of him, as he did for Martini
what Vasari did for the Florentine
masters. There were many
defects about Martins work,
work, but it was all done with the ut.
most care. One of the best of his
paintings that remain is st. Catherine.
Timothy Cole has made the best en-
gravingsof it. This picture was]painted
in Pisa though Martini belonged to the
Siena school. The background of the
picture is gold, which is the real metal
and the drapery is painted in soft gray
All of this painters works are carefully
executed and his figures have very life
like expressions.
Lorenzette is the next good painter
Most o.. his paintings which remain are
found in the town hall at Siena
Lorenzette's habits were those of q
gentleman rather than an artist.
Artists in those days were regarded as
laboring men, and were rather despised
He was philosopher taking the good

THREE OLD MASTERS.

Duccio was the head of the Sienese
school. He possessed many of the finest
qualities of a religious painter. The
dates of his birth and death are un
certain, but he lived and worked in
the latter part of the thirteenth
century.
One of his best works was scenes
from the life of Christ. Another was
the Burial of the Virgin. 1t was nc
uncommon thing for celebrated paint.
ing to be carried through the streets in
a proce ssicn. On the back Of the last
named painting were twenty-six small
panels on which were scenes from the
life of Christ.
Martini was born in the latter part
of the thirteenth century, also. He
was a friend of the Italian poet,
Petrach, and it was he who made
Martini famous.
MART was something of portrait
painter One of the characteristics OF
Martini was that he was so very care
full about every point in his work,
though it was far from perfect.
One of his best works was Saint
Catherine. This painting has been re,
produced by the noted engraver.
Timothy Cole. 1t is only small part
of large painting. The background
of it is of real gold.
Some people complained that the
artists kept part of the gold. An in
teresting story is told of a very
honest artist who did not wish the
people to accuse him of stealing. 1t is
said that he invented method of put
ting the gold on so that it could be
taken off and weighed, if people
doubted his honesty.
An important painting now in the
town hall of Siena. bears the signature
of this painter, and also the date OF
, 1915. The figures are more than life
size.
The reason for the great care shown
in the old works was that, when boys,
the artists were apprenticed to gold
and silver smiths and had to do some
very fine work on tiny pieces of metal.
Another famous master was Lor-
enzetti. The world has lost much, be.
cause much of this artists work has
persisted. The greater part of what is
left, is in the town hall of Siena.
Lorenzettis habits were of the best,
and were those of gentleman, rather
than those of an artist. In those days
artists were not classed as gentlemen,
but as laborers. He is supposed to
have died of the plague in 1349.

he is returning to this country with
