この絵画について
Saint Luke, one of the four evangelists, is shown in the act of writing his Gospel. His halo is formed of intricately wrought punches, made by lightly tapping metal punching tools onto a background laid with gold leaf. His serene face is rendered in minute detail, with each hair of his beard carefully described. The modelling in the folds of his purple cloak, achieved through subtle gradations of pigments applied with fine brushstrokes, results in a rhythmic elegance. Such features contribute to the overall demeanor of refinement that is characteristic of Simone’s figures. Another feature typical of the artist is the narrative flair with which he depicted Saint Luke’s traditional attribute, the winged ox, which appears in miniature form acting as proud custodian of the black inkpot. The engaged frame, gilded and painted with blue and red quatrefoils, is original.

The *Saint Luke* panel was one section of a five-part, portable polyptych which was probably originally made for the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena, the seat of the city government. The other four panels from the ensemble are today divided between New York and Madrid: *Saint Ansanus* and *Madonna and Child* in the Robert Lehman Collection, *Saint Andrew* in the collection of European Paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and *Saint Peter* in Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza. Of these, the Getty panel alone retains its original back and sides, which were painted to resemble porphyry, a costly purple stone. The *Saint Luke* panel bears no marks from hinges or traces of other hardware which might offer clues about how this panel may have been joined to the others. As such, questions remain as to how they were originally assembled and displayed.
