Q1) Why were so many Italian church facades left uncompleted?
Answer: The Italian architect did not consider the façade as an integral part of the structure. They considered the exterior as a mere screen that could be added later at any time.
Q2) How does the fresco cycle Ambrogio Lorenzetti created for the government of Siena mirror the work of Giotto and Duccio?
Answer: He particularized the landscape, both in the city and the countryside. Through careful observation he endowed the work with the character of a recognizable place and environment. He combined the analysis of Giotto, the study of the nature of things and the narrative talent of Duccio. He depicted the landscape as visibly real.
Q3) How does the work of Simone Martini exemplify the International Style?
Answer: Martini was a pupil of Duccio. He worked for the French kings in Sicily and Naples. During his last years he worked for the papal court at Avignon, where he came into contact with Northern painters. He adapted the insubstantial but luxuriant patterns of French Gothic painters with Sienese figural mass and controlled narrative. His work is a blend of elegant shape and radiant color with flowing line.
