Head of the Virgin 1394 - 1400

Taddeo di Bartolo's "Head of the Virgin," a small tempera on poplar panel painting, is a notable example of 14th-century Sienese art. Dated between 1394 and 1400, the work portrays the Virgin Mary's face with delicate detail, including the subtle blush on her cheeks, a characteristic of Sienese painting during this period. The painting is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
