Ambrogio Lorenzetti, Peaceful City, detail from Effects of Good Government in the City in the Country, east wall, Sala della Pace, Palazzo Pubblico, Siena, Italy, 1338-39, Fresco.
I am a fan of architecture so this peace stood out to me pretty quickly. It is one of the first pieces of artwork that we see that incorporates architecture at this detail where the buildings closer to the viewer are larger and get smaller as they move further away. I also like the use of Fresco for this painting. There is great detail in the entire piece and a great sense of depth and rich color that draws the viewers eyes around the entire body of work.
