# The Vision of St Sorore \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VECCHIETTA]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary Vecchietta's earliest surviving documented work is the Allegory of the Blessed Sorore and the Education of the Foundlings \(1441\) in the Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala, Siena; it is the only fresco to be preserved of four he painted there, and the first of several major commissions for the hospital. It contrasts with the neighbouring <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/d/domenico/bartolo/pellegri/index.html'\)" href="/html/d/domenico/bartolo/pellegri/index.html">frescoes by Domenico di Bartolo</a> in its orderly and rational approach to the architectural setting \(in which a Roman triumphal arch is set in front of an aisled nave\) and in its subtly graded coloration. ## Related artworks - [Alms of St Lawrence]() - [Alms of St Lawrence]() - [Arliquiera \(detail\)]() - [Arliquiera \(outer shutters\)]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ciborium]() - [Coronation of Pius II]() - [Dante: Divina Commedia]() - [Death of the Virgin and Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Death of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
