The work
One of the distinctive features of the work is the masterful use of light and color. Lorenzetti adopts a lively and harmonious palette, with shades of red, blue and gold that create an effect of brightness and solemnity. The light, delicately modulated, gives volume and plasticity to the figures, detaching them from the golden background and giving them a tangible and realistic presence. This approach to light and color reflects the influence of the Sienese school, known for its interest in minute details and the decorative use of surfaces.
The central element of the work is the figure of the Virgin, who dominates the composition with a serene and monumental presence, enhanced by the finely crafted details of her mantle and throne, adorned with geometric and floral motifs. The Majesty of Massa Marittima not only celebrates divine glory, but also reflects the cultural and social context of its time, revealing the importance of Marian devotion in medieval society and the central role of the Virgin as mediator between the divine and the human.
