The Allegory of Good and Bad Government
The Allegory of Good and Bad Government is a series of frescoes painted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti from around February 26, 1338 to May 29, 1339. The paintings are located in the Sala dei Nove (Salon of Nine or Council Room) in the Palazzo Pubblico (or Town Hall) of the city of Siena, Italy. The series consists of six different scenes: ''Allegory of Good Government'', ''Allegory of Bad Government'', ''Effects of Bad Government in the City'', ''Effects of Good Government in the City'' and ''Effects of Good Government in the Country'' (the titles are all modern conveniences).
==Historical context==
''The Allegory and Effects of Good and Bad Government'' series was commissioned entirely by a civic group, the Council of Nine (the city council).〔(Florence & Siena in the 14th Century )〕 The subject matter in this work is not religious like most artworks of the time, but civic. The Republic of Siena was one of the most powerful of the fourteenth century Italian city-states. It was an urban hub filled with bankers and merchants, with many international contacts. The fourteenth century was a turbulent time for politics in the Italian cities. There were constant violent party struggles; governments were overthrown, and governments were reinstated. The frescoes painted by Lorenzetti promoted the morality of government and provided a constant reminder for the council to remain just leaders by showing comprehensive cause-and-effect situations of corrupt, tyrannical governing in comparison to those of virtuous governing.
