Assisi has had a rich tradition of art through the centuries and is now home to a number of well-known artistic works.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wga.hu/tours/siena/index_d.html|title=Web Gallery of Art – Art of Simone|website=wga.hu}}</ref>

Artists [[Pietro Lorenzetti]] and [[Simone Martini]] worked shoulder to shoulder at Assisi. The [[Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi]] includes a number of artistic works. Simone Martini's 1317 fresco there reflects the influence of [[Giotto di Bondone|Giotto]] in [[realism (arts)|realism]] and the use of brilliant colours. Lorenzetti's fresco at the lower church of the Basilica includes a series of panels depicting the [[Crucifixion of Jesus]], [[Descent from the Cross|Deposition from the Cross]], and [[Entombment of Christ]]. The figures Lorenzetti painted display emotions, yet the figures in these scenes are governed by geometric emotional interactions, unlike many prior depictions which appeared to be independent iconic aggregations. Lorenzetti's 1330 [[Madonna dei Tramonti]] also reflects the ongoing influence of [[Giotto di Bondone|Giotto]] on his [[Roman Catholic Marian art|Marian art]], midway through his career.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.virtualuffizi.com/pietro-lorenzetti.html|title=Pietro Lorenzetti :: Biography ► Virtual Uffizi|website=Virtual Uffizi Gallery}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.livingitaly.com/Umbria_Art_Cities/umbria_assisi.htm |title=Umbria Art |access-date=23 February 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090130080014/http://www.livingitaly.com/Umbria_Art_Cities/umbria_assisi.htm |archive-date=30 January 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
