Abstract

The frescos of Ambrogio Lorenzetti created in the 14th century can contribute to our appreciation of the relationship of the virtues to the common good in the exercise of good government. The frescos were commissioned by the government of Siena between 1337 and 1340 to decorate the council chamber in the Palazzo Pubblico. Political iconography was common at the time, and its survival over the centuries provides a wonderful window into the nature of Good Government, the virtues, and the common good.
