Sienna Exhibition and lecture at the National Gallery

From the OUSA AA315 conference:-
Mike Franklin (AA315 Course Manager) has asked me to put up this link :

The exhibition will, I think, be a huge resource for AA315 students - and a potentially fruitful source of IE material. Chapter 4 of Book 2 is devoted to Siena, and I imagine the exhibition catalogue will be full of useful articles and a great bibliography.
The exhibition runs from 24th October to 13th January, and a series of lectures is planned by the NG over November and December, so do check out the NG site - though I'll try to keep you informed.
Of particular interest to OU students, however, is a lecture by our own Professor Diana Norman (who wrote a highly-regarded book on "Siena and the Virgin") on Monday 7th January next year at 1p.m. in the Sainsbury Wing of the NG. It's entitled "A Renaissance Tradition : Siena and the Virgin, 1430-1530"
