Madonna of the Earthquake reproduction on paper applied on panel 36.5x26.5 cm Illustration of the Biccherna tablet by Francesco di Giorgio Martini (Siena 1439 - 1501). The episode described was traced back to the violent earthquakes that struck the Sienese territory in the years 1466-1467, as recalled by the inscription AL TENPO DE TREMUOTI written on the clear sky surrounding the Sienese landscape. At the top center the Virgin is depicted, surrounded by six angels, portrayed with her arms open as a sign of protection towards the city of Siena depicted in the register below. You can see the city with its walls, the bell towers of the Palazzo Pubblico, the Mangia tower and the zebra-striped Cathedral and in the foreground the tents set up outside the urban fabric. Below is painted a horizontal band with eight coats of arms of the families of the officers in office, also mentioned in the inscription on the lower part of the panel.

FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO MARTINI AND WORKSHOP (Siena 1439-1502 Siena) Two drawings of machinery.
Est: $70,000 - $100,000
FRANCESCO DI GIORGIO MARTINI AND WORKSHOP (Siena 1439-1502 Siena) Two drawings of machinery. Both pen and ink and pencil on cream laid paper. Both approximately 380x525 mm; 15x20 3/4 inches, the full sheets with deckled edges. Both extensively annotated in ink with descriptions of the machinery. Provenance: Lodewijk Houthakker, Amsterdam. With a letter from Carlo Pedretti to Houthakker, dated March 5, 1972, regarding the authorship and ascribing the drawings to Martini, indicating that, "One of them may even be interpreted as the record of a device that Francesco di Gorgio had sent to Leonardo . . . there are drawings by Leonardo that reproduce the same instrument." According to Brown, Martini was, "Active as an architect and architectural theorist, engineer, sculptor, and painter, [he] has rightly been called the 'Leonardo da Vinci of Siena.' As demonstrated by a series of exhibitions in the 1980s and 1990s devoted to him and his contemporaries, he was the most significant artistic figure in the city during the second half of the 15th century. Francesco was keenly responsive to the work of other artists--including Donatello and the North Italian miniaturists Liberale da Verona and Girolamo da Cremona, all three of whom worked in Siena--as well as Pollaiuolo and Verrocchio, whose productions he came to know in Florence. As a painter, he seems to have been trained by the painter/sculptor Vecchietta or, according to a more recent hypothesis, Sano di Pietro. Francesco is known to have shared a workshop with yet another painter/sculptor, Neroccio de' Landi, from the late 1460s to 1475, when their partnership was dissolved. Not long afterward he left Siena to work as sculptor, architect and military engineer, for Duke Federigo da Montefeltro in Urbino. His services were also in demand at the Sforza court in Milan, where he must have encountered Leonardo, who owned and annotated one of his manuscripts (now in the Biblioteca Laurenziana, Florence). Francesco's only signed painting is the Nativity with Saints of 1475, from the Olivetan monastery of Porta Tufi, now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena" (see Brown, Italian Paintings of the Fifteenth Century, Washington, D.C., 2003). Many similar drawings by Martini can be found in his manuscript Edificij et machine, circa 1475-80, a volume with 103 ink drawings of machines and devices for lifting columns and other heavy weights, schemes for transporting water and mechanisms for milling and moving boats, in the Liszt Collection, notably folios 22, 40, 43 and 44, which show similar mill machinery with wheels and one powered by a horse. Similar ink drawings of machinery by Martini and his workshop can be found in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Florence, Ms. Palatino 767: Bue aziona pompa a tazze, page 32r; Mulino azionato dai posteriori di un asino che cerca di raggiungere la mangiatoia, page 76; Mulino galleggiante, page 81; and Mulino a ruota orizzontale, page 66; the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Florence, Ms. Ashburnham 361, Mulino a ricircolo, c. 36r; and in the British Library, London, Ms. Additional 34113, Two Wheel Driven Mills, c. 85v; and Horizontal Wheel Mill, c. 230r; as well as further designs for machinery of this type by Leonardo da Vinci, including one located in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan, Codice Atlantico; Argano a due ruote, c. 30v. A volume with a collection of similar ink drawings of machines and engineering devices, that is a version of another manuscript now in the British Museum, London, which is thought to be the volume recorded in the Ducal Library, Urbino, prepared by Francesco di Giorgio for Federico da Montefeltro, was offered at Sotheby's, London, July 6, 1987, lot 93. This manuscript is discussed in Popham and Pouncey, Italian Drawings . . . The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries, London, 1950, pages 32-38.
