This website has much information about the paintings in Siena.I learned many special skills of painting.This website helps me a lot.

Madonna and Child

This painting is painted by Duccio di Buoninsegna.
I chose it because I like the its background .
The artist may kneaded the paper before painting it to make it looked more textural.This way of painting is very special.
In addition,although Buoninsegna didn't use so many colors on the work,you can always notice it because of its contrast.
That is why I chose it.

The Last Supper

This painting is also from Buoninsegna.
There were many paintings of The Last Supper in this time,but this one is one of the most special ones.It makes people fell another atmosphere from this paintiong.
It looks very plain,but you can "enter" it.The artist used more linesto show the perspective,but it still looked a little flat.
I think that perhaps it is the most different style from between then and now.
(Until now,I still don't know why there are circles over some man's head.
I guess that the artist may want to show the status of them...it comfuse me a lot.

Giotto

The site doesn't have so much information about the introduce of Giotto,but it has a lot of great information about his paintings.

Kiss Of Judas

This painting is one of the most famous works from Giotto.

The artist used some techniques to make people foucus the action on Jesus and Judas.

You can notice that the man on the right side points them,and the weapons of the soilders also

make us pay more attention on what Juda did.This way is very sucessful.

In this painting,you may also find a few angry emoions on Jesus's face. In addition ,there are some interesting details in this picture,like the man on the left side ,I think he may wants to cut the other man's ear.

This website is good that I spent more time on it.It is different from the first site,it has nuch information about Giotto's life and his style on his paintings.

The Mourning Of Crist
His art was extremely innovative,you can see the reason in the
picture.There are some new elements in it,different from another paintings in dark ages .
This painting also use the same techniques to make people notice the subject,but you can see more lines in this work.I think this one may painted in early Renaissance.The color of this painting isn't very bright and beautiful,however,it brings a peaceful feeling to me.This one is one of my famous paintings from Giotto.
