Giovanni da Milano’s *Choir of Martyrs*, created in 1360, is a stunning example of the Italian Gothic style. The painting depicts a group of saints, each within their own mandorla, against a background of gold leaf. The vibrant colors, detailed figures, and intricate decorative elements are characteristic of this period. The figures, dressed in elegant, richly embroidered robes, are arranged in a hierarchical order, reflecting the importance of the depicted saints. The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the composition. The *Choir of Martyrs* is a testament to Giovanni da Milano’s artistry and showcases the artistic dynamism of 14th-century Italy.
