The Maestà

The Maestà is a fresco (970x763 cm) by Simone Martini. It takes up the whole north wall of the Sala del Mappamondo or Sala del Consiglio in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena. It dates to 1315 and is considered as one of the artist's masterpieces and one of the most important examples of 14th-century Italian art.
