<i>The Allegory of Good and Bad Government</i> painting by Ambrogio Lorenzetti

The Allegory of Good and Bad Government is a series of three fresco panels painted by Ambrogio Lorenzetti between February 1338 and May 1339. The paintings are located in Siena's Palazzo Pubblico—specifically in the Sala dei Nove, the council hall of the Republic of Siena's nine executive magistrates, elected officials who performed executive functions. The paintings have been construed as being "designed to remind the Nine [magistrates] of just how much was at stake as they made their decisions".
