  Ashort while ago, Baby Jesus was asleep, whereas now, his eyes are wide open for he can feel his mother pushing down her legs to get up and solemnly go towards her observer, to announce her divine regality. She still has the expression of an icon, fixed and lost in perfection. Contrarily, Jesus with surprised and credulous eyes suspended in a tangible, everyday situation, is the sign

 
 

 of a change, the sign of the modernity of the young master who in this painting of 1319, the first work attributed to him with certainty, already  reveals the important elements of his style. It is true that the artist turns to Giotto and the Florentine school but as a Sienese,  

 

he does not forget the transparent colours of his fellow artists, Duccio and Simone Martini.
