Death of the Virgin

by VECCHIETTA, Painted wood

Vecchietta’s final commission (1480) was for painted wood reliefs of the Death of the Virgin and Assumption of the Virgin (Villa Guinigi, Lucca), but he lived to execute only the first, the Assumption being completed by Neroccio de’ Landi. This is a final instance of how Vecchietta helped to mould two generations of Sienese artists, but his greatest legacies were the works for his own chapel.
