## Commentary

This Madonna stems from the mature period of the artist and is without doubt among his principal works. It shows that the long stay in Siena assimilated Matteo to local artistic traditions. We find reflections of the elegance of the outlines and of the melancholy charm of figures by Duccio, Ugolino, Simone Martini and other Trecento painters in Matteo&#39;s works much more than his local colleagues. Originally this fragment was part of the pinnacle of the altarpiece painted in 1482 for the church of Sant&#39;Agostino in Siena. \*\*\* Keywords: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Author: MATTEO di Giovanni Title: Madonna with Child and Two Angels Time-line: 1451-1500 School: Italian Form: painting Type: religious
