This monumental book is the first monograph devoted to the Sienese artist Lorenzo di Pietro, known as Vecchietta (1410–1480).

 A painter, sculptor, architect and goldsmith, Vecchietta is a towering figure in the history of Sienese art and, as this book demonstrates, a central protagonist of the Early Renaissance in Italy. His diverse oeuvre across multiple media provides a prism through which to re-evaluate the art of Quattrocento Siena, traditionally misinterpreted as ancillary to Florence. 

Vecchietta was one of the few Italian artists of the period to paint an independent self-portrait and the first to design a funerary chapel for himself. He signed and dated most of his work, presenting himself as a sculptor on his paintings and a painter on his sculptures. He is credited with innovations in style and technique that paved the way for the next generation of Sienese artists, most of whom trained in his workshop.

The first monograph on the artist since a 1937 booklet by Giorgio Vigni, the volume subverts traditional expectations about the monograph itself to show how a different art history, capable of capturing the complexity of polymaths like Vecchietta, is not only possible, but necessary.

这本具有里程碑意义的著作是首部专门研究锡耶纳艺术家洛伦佐·迪·彼得罗（人称“老妪”，1410–1480年）的专著。

作为画家、雕塑家、建筑师和金匠，“老妪”是锡耶纳艺术史上的一位巨匠，正如本书所揭示的，他也是意大利早期文艺复兴时期的核心人物。他在多种媒介上的丰富作品，为重新评价15世纪锡耶纳的艺术提供了一个视角——传统上，锡耶纳艺术被误解为从属于佛罗伦萨艺术。

“老妪”是这一时期少数创作独立自画像的意大利艺术家之一，也是首位为自己设计墓室小教堂的艺术家。他的大多数作品都有签名和日期，在绘画作品上他以雕塑家自居，在雕塑作品上则以画家自居。他在风格和技法上的创新为下一代锡耶纳艺术家铺平了道路，这些艺术家大多在他的工作室接受过培训。

自1937年乔治·维格尼的小册子出版以来，这是首部关于该艺术家的专著。该书颠覆了人们对专著本身的传统期待，以此表明，一种能够捕捉像“老妪”这样博学者复杂性的别样艺术史，不仅是可能的，而且是必要的。
