‎Taddeo di Bartolo, Siena?s premier painter in the years around 1400, is the focus of a cultural history of a great Italian school in an understudied period. His patrons commissioned important fresco cycles and the most impressive polyptychs of the age. In part a travelogue, the text follows Taddeo (ca 1362-1422) from training in straitened times at Siena across central and northern Italy. Ten years of itinerancy drew him to various Tuscan centers, along the Ligurian coast from Genoa to Provence, probably to Padua, and into Umbria. About 1399 he resettled at Siena to rapidly become the preferred painter of his commune. His mural cycles made a greater imprint on Siena?s civic iconography than has been acknowledged while his efficient Sienese shop produced outstanding panel paintings for, among others, the most dynamic religious orders. Until his last years he received grand commissions in and from beyond Siena. He drew a pope?s portrait and was employed by a cardinal at Rome. Attention to his production methods shows how his busy shop ensured variety in numerous paintings for mid-level clients by a flexible design system. Taddeo?s works, including rediscovered and reconstructed paintings, come alive in beautiful illustrations. This chronicle of an indefatigable and successful late medieval career positions the painter, his colleagues, and his patrons in their political, economic, and social circumstances. It provides new insights on Siena?s artistic culture at the start of the Renaissance.

‎ Siena, een stad met een grote schilderstraditie. In samenwerking met de prestigieuze Pinacoteca di Siena en het Franse Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen worden in het Paleis voor Schone Kunsten een tachtigtal bijzonder verfijnde meesterwerken getoond die maar zelden hun thuishaven verlaten. Ze getuigen van de revolutionaire kunst die tussen het eind van de 13e en het eind van de 15e eeuw beoefend werd door o.a. de gebroeders Lorenzetti, Duccio di Buoninsegna, Simone Martini en Sano di Pietro, die vernieuwden door perspectief in hun schilderijen te introduceren, het landschap als achtergrond in te voeren en een innoverend kleurenpalet te gebruiken. Buiten Siena fascineerde hun kunst ook de andere centra in Italie, om uiteindelijk op heel Europa haar stempel te drukken. De evolutie van de figuratieve schilderkunst kende in Siena een heel eigen verloop: van de starre laat-Byzantijnse iconografie naar meer klassieke, verhalende kunstwerken. Deze wereld vol schatten was in het verleden enkel toegankelijk voor een heel select publiek.‎

‎Scarce first printing of this collection of tax edicts issued by Pietro Leopoldo II, grand-duke of Tuscany. The intention was to raise the tax-level for the rich and for companies in Siena in order to spend the extra income on the poor and needy. In this sense, the present collection of tax-edicts represents one of the very earliest European attempts to create economic social reform in the spirit of the Enlightenment. This became a source of inspiration for the French Constitution. Pietro Leopoldo initiated a process of political, social and economic change in Siena which lasted several decades into the 19th century. It has been argued that this turned Siena from a patrician city - symbolized by the nobility - into a middleclass and bourgeois city. Partly due to laws and guidelines presented in the present work, Siena went from being a city whose most significant features were convents and monasteries to being a city characterized by its public and civil institutions. Leopold also approved and collaborated on the development of a political constitution, said to have anticipated the promulgation of the French Constitution, which bore some similarities to the Virginia Bill of Rights of 1778. Leopold's concept of this was based upon respect for the political rights of citizens and upon a harmony of power between the executive and the legislative. Leopold developed and supported many social and economic reforms. Smallpox vaccination was made systematically available, and an early institution for the rehabilitation of juvenile delinquents was founded. Leopold also introduced radical reforms to the system of neglect and inhumane treatment of those deemed mentally ill. On 23 January 1774, the ""legge sui pazzi"" (law on the insane) was established, the first of its kind to be introduced in all of Europe, allowing steps to be taken to hospitalize individuals deemed insane.‎
