Jacopo del Casentino's "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Angels, Saints and Donors" (before 1330) is a classic example of the Sienese school of painting. The composition follows a traditional format with the Virgin Mary and Child enthroned at the center, surrounded by angels and saints. The artist's use of vibrant colors, intricate details, and gold leaf creates a sense of grandeur and reverence. The two kneeling figures in the foreground represent the donors, who commissioned the artwork and are depicted in prayer, emphasizing the devotional purpose of the piece. The painting is housed in the Städel Museum and reflects the artistic sensibilities of the early 14th century in Siena.
