Sebastiano Misuri (16th century). Lunette-shaped fresco with “Madonna and child among the saints Domenico, Lorenzo, Antonino and Catherine from Siena”

BORGO SAN LORENZO (pieve di San Lorenzo) – This lunette-shaped fresco comes from the adjacent Dominican monastery of Saint Catherine from Siena and represents a “sacred conversation” to which three saints of the Dominican Order and the protector of Borgo San Lorenzo are participating. The painting is signed by Sebastiano Misuri, a modest painter of the late sixteenth century, known only for this work, in which he expresses himself with an archaic language recalling the early 16th century taste, perhaps to comply with the possible demands of the monastic commission.
