Lamentation

by VECCHIETTA, Fresco, 190 x 208 cm

Although Vecchetta’s paintings and sculpture are usually considered separately, the two functions reinforced each other throughout his career. For example, the measured approach to monumentality in his fresco of the Lamentation, formerly in the Martinozzi Chapel in San Francesco, Siena, is also evident in the contemporary painted wood Pietà from San Michele al Monte di San Donato, Siena, which has a similar composition.
