Pinacoteca Nazionale
-
The Pinacoteca boasts a comprehensive collection of Sienese painting (though the masterpieces of the school are housed elsewhere). Among the earlier gems, seek out various 14th-century Madonnas by Simone Martini and Pietro Lorenzetti. Compare Beccafumi’s cartoons (full-sized preparatory sketches on cartone , or “large paper”) for the Duomo’s floor panels and his Mannerist Christ Descending into Limbo to rival Sodoma’s High Renaissance works.
