Little beauties

Lippo Memmi, Madonna del Popolo
Tomorrow the author of this post is going to have a guided tour in Siena. While revising for it, since it's going to be a "new" itinerary, she found this beauty, and couldn't avoid sharing it with you. The Madonna del Popolo was painted by Lippo Memmi, brother-in-law of the great Simone Martini (and great himself I reckon), around the 1330s.
