ResumoOur knowledge of Sienese painting after 1350 is still untidy. We have many pictures and not a few names and dates, but unfortunately works and records have very often refused to coincide. Simone Martini's death in 1344 was followed by the Great Plague of 1348, when we suppose that Ambrogio and Pietro Lorenzetti died along with the greater part of the Sienese people. The confusion that resulted from this catastrophe has probably not been sufficiently emphasized, and certainly the havoc it wrought on the city's government had its effect on her artists.
