WEBINAR RECORDING | “Siena: Masterpieces of the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo”
Presented BY Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

Despite its name, the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo in Siena is not a music museum. It is instead a museum of the extraordinary artwork that was commissioned by the Opera, or “building committee” of Siena Cathedral. All of the artwork in this museum was intended for or removed from the breathtaking Gothic cathedral across the way. Join me for this free webinar where we will examine this amazing collection of art, including Giovanni Pisano’s dramatic original façade statues, Donatello’s sublime “Madonna del Perdono”, and the largest altarpiece ever painted in Italy – Duccio’s majestic “Maestà”.

The webinar recording consists of a 45-minute lecture.
