#Siena

Les biccherne sont de petits tableaux confectionnés pour les registres de l'institution financière du même nom, la Biccherna, à Sienne. Conservés sur une longue période (13e-17e siècles), ces tableaux représentent des scènes religieuses, quotidiennes, allégoriques ou militaires et composent un corpus très intéressant.

Il y a notamment deux représentations d'entrées (ducale et papale) qui ont attiré mon attention 😉

There are worse views than enjoying a glass of wine while looking towards the distant city of #Siena enframed by two typical cypress trees before night completely supersedes the dying day.
