The art historical literature generally asserts that the great Sienese painter cited in a document of 1320 as “Petrus quondam Lorenzetti ” and who signed himself as “Petrus Laurentii” is to be identified with the Petruccio di Lorenzo paid in 1306 for a panel, now lost, painted for the Sienese government. If that is the case, then his date of birth is unlikely to have been any later than 1280.[1] The prestigious commission presupposes, in fact, that he must have been a well-established artist by this date.

Artists have imagined angels as divine winged figures, painting them in Christian scenes since the Byzantine period. We see angels delivering messages, floating in space, and playing music.
