Join us for captivating evening as we explore the stunning exhibition Siena: The Rise of Painting, 1300–1350 at The Met.
Event Details
Led by one of The Met's expert docents, this is a private guided tour exclusively for Booth alumni. This special tour offers an in-depth look at Siena's artistic brilliance during a transformative period in history.
Siena: The Rise of Painting 1300–1350, examines an exceptional moment at the dawn of the Italian Renaissance and the pivotal role of Sienese artists—including Duccio, Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti, and Simone Martini—in defining Western painting. In the decades leading up to the catastrophic onset of the plague around 1350, Siena was the site of phenomenal artistic innovation and activity. While Florence is often positioned as the center of the Renaissance, this presentation offers a fresh perspective on the importance of Siena, from Duccio's profound influence on a new generation of painters to the development of narrative altarpieces and the dissemination of artistic styles beyond Italy.
Following the tour, your ticket includes full access to The Met for the remainder of the evening, as well as a special gift from Chicago Booth. Don't miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history and artistic brilliance of Siena!
