Using an example of one art movement and one school of thought, the study aims at illustrating the variety and diversity of visual artworks in the Gothic period the starting point of which is an adequate diversity of the thought of the period. Apart from the context of the period, the emphasis is also put on the factors which come between and artist and his workshop while significantly impacting the final look of the artwork.

The verbal analysis leans on a number of reproductions of artworks, both from the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, and the Sienese School of painters.
