This masterpiece depicts the Virgin Mary with serene beauty, showcasing Pietro's exceptional talent for capturing divine grace. Ambrogio, on the other hand, mesmerizes us with his intricate details in "The Effects of Good Government in the Countryside. " Painted between 1338 and 1340, this piece showcases Ambrogio's ability to depict idyllic rural scenes while conveying a sense of harmony and prosperity. In another powerful depiction by Pietro titled "The Crucifixion" from the 1340s, we witness his mastery in portraying raw emotion.

Pietro also explores themes of spirituality and devotion in "Madonna and Child between St Francis and St John the Evangelist. " Created during the early 1320s, this painting beautifully captures religious figures enveloped by a heavenly aura. Ambrogio further immerses us into his artistic vision through "Effects of Good Government in the City, " part of a larger cycle known as The Allegory of Good and Bad Government. Completed between 1338-1339, these frescoes reveal Ambrogio's keen understanding of political symbolism while emphasizing societal well-being. Both brothers contributed significantly to art history; their names forever etched alongside their masterpieces. From Pope Honorius III approving Carmelite Rule to Saint Elizabeth reviving a drowned child or Saint Catherine radiating ethereal beauty – each work reflects their unparalleled skill and creativity.
