Triptych Madonna and Child Enthroned and Saints on a gold background.

 

St. Agnes and Saint Donatus Bishop of Arezzo. 

 

Painting by Silvia Salvadori in the Duccio style. Original painting technique of the Sienese school. 

 

The triptych is also painted on the back and has a beautiful faux marble finish.

 

Triptychs or travel triptychs were often made in the Middle Ages on a pure gold background and painted using the technique of the Sienese school of painting.

 

This small triptych is distinguished by the details on it that are executed with extreme precision. Each decoration on the pure gold has been executed by burin, and the burins are the same as those used in the technique of the Sienese panel icons and by Duccio di Buoninsegna in Siena.

 

The pure gold is a 23 karat spread with gouache and finely engraved with a burin. The technique used is the same as that employed by Duccio di Buoninsegna and Simone Martini.

 

The drape covering the throne of the Virgin Mary is finely interwoven with thin sheets of gold to form a sumptuous golden brocade.

 

The Triptych is a unique piece from Silvia Salvadori's collection.

In this small icon on a gold background of Saint Michael Archangel we find the workmanship of the gold background finely engraved with a burin and the use of the same bright colours as the Sienese icons of Duccio di Buoninsegna and Simone Martini.

 

This small icon on a gold background is a unique piece.

Temptation of Christ on the mount of Duccio di Buoninsegna. Author's copy of Silvia Salvadori.

Sacred icon made with tempera and gold leaf on wood. Work performed with the ancient pictorial techniques of the Sienese school of the fifteenth century. 31,5 x 30,5 cm Painting made by Silvia Salvadori. Icon of Christ, art reproduction by Duccio di Buoninsegna. Sienese painting. Predella: Temptation of Christ on the mountain. Stories of Christ, "Jesus casts out Satan". Predella della Maestà, Siena. Icon, tempera on a pure gold background, gold engravings, antique table. Duccio di Buoninsegna in the fourteenth century represents the second and third temptations of Christ in two tablets of the predella della Maestà di Siena; in the second we see Christ and the devil, who orders him to throw himself into the void, facing a loggia of a building; in the other Christ is on a mountain which dominates an urban landscape and with his arm he pushes the devil away while the angels on his right are ready to help him. Here Duccio di Buoninsegna wants to show the devil in his original essence of rebel angel and in the fifteenth century also Lorenzo Ghiberti takes up this compositional theme in a door of the baptistery of Florence, depicting the devil with bird's legs and bat wings. From this moment on, the devil tends to lose the monstrosity of previous centuries and appears with human features.

Sienese painting gold background icon. The original painting by Simone Martini once belonging to a polyptych made for a church in Orvieto. The icon of Saint Catherine of Alexandria is currently kept in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. This Saint Catherine of Alexandria stands out for its extreme elegance, fragility and courtesy, highlighted by the hairstyle and the shape of the crown, as well as the gesture - further amplified here - of making a flap of the dress fall on the left arm. Although deprived of the most usual attributes, the book and the wheel, the young saint can only be recognized in Saint Catherine of Alexandria, by virtue of the precious clothes, the crowned head, the palm of martyrdom and the hilt of the sword that it brought about death.
