We will be presenting works from across six centuries that pay homage to the geographical and cultural region that was the epicentre of Renaissance innovation and which has provided a unique artistic milieu for generations of artists.

At the centre of the display, a mesmerising Crucifixion by Giovanni del Biondo, executed around 1360, showcases the artist’s mastery of detailed realism and engagement with Gothic sensibilities.

The Crucifixion is juxtaposed with two works from the twentieth century, a Paesaggio (Landscape) by Giorgio Morandi and a bronze Concetto Spaziale, Natura by Lucio Fontana. These works, made six centuries after Del Biondo’s masterpiece, underline the enduring power of Tuscany throughout Italian art history, and demonstrate the dialogue across the ages.

Other outstanding pieces include two masterpieces, absent from the market for decades that encapsulate an age of golden twilight in Siena, from 1610 to 1650: The Allegory of the Seasons by Rutilio Manetti and The Banquet of Absalom by Niccolò Tornioli. These works demonstrate the extraordinary innovation of such painters, reinterpreting the Caravaggesque heritage and then, in the case of Tornioli, wholeheartedly embracing the Baroque.

In its totality, this presentation by Robilant+Voena is a tribute to Tuscan art, highlighting figures of innovation and genius across the centuries and celebrating the rich artistic heritage of the region, that continues to the present day.
