Madonna of Priest Martino

Unlike the previous one, this Madonna, which comes from Borgo San Sepolcro in Tuscany and bears the date 1199, draws no real inspiration from Romanesque sculpture but continues a schematic Byzantine tradition, which sees elements of religious decorum in rigidly frontal composition and impenetrable expression.
