Saint Ansanus ca. 1326 Simone Martini Italian This panel, together with a related work depicting the Madonna and Child in the Robert Lehman Collection (1975.1.12) and a third panel of Saint Andrew (41.100.23) in the European Paintings Collection, formed part of an altarpiece commissioned by the civic government of Siena. Ansanus is the citys patron saint and holds its black and white banner. The format of the polyptych was highly unusual in that the central image, the Madonna and Child, was the same size as the flanking panels, allowing the entire altarpiece, which was intended to be portable, to be easily folded and moved. In the fifteenth century, Simone's panels were incorporated as the central elements of a larger altarpiece in the principal chapel of the Palazzo Pubblico, Siena's town hall. Simone's refined technique and descriptive powers, evident in the realistic manner in which Saint Ansanus grasps the staff, earned the praise and friendship of the poet Petrarch (1304-1374). T
