This exhibition showcases over 40 works that delve into the artist’s intimate portrayals of family, friends, lovers, and self-portraits, revealing his deep psychological engagement with his subjects. Renowned for his iconic painting The Scream, he was also a prolific portraitist, using vivid color, raw brushwork, and unconventional compositions to capture the emotional and psychological depth of those he painted.

The painting of 14th century Siena is characterized by a transition from Byzantine traditions to more realistic and humanistic approaches. At this time, the development of the Gothic style began, which manifested itself in bright colors, graceful lines and an emphasis on figures and their expressions. Artists such as Simone Martini and the brothers Pietro and Ambrogio Lorenzetti created works imbued with spirituality and emotional depth. An important aspect of this period was the use of perspective and light to create volume, which became the basis for the further development of Renaissance art.
