'''Simone Martini''' ({{circa|1284}} – July 1344) was an Italian painter born in [[Siena]].
He was a major figure in the development of early Italian painting and greatly influenced the development of the [[International Gothic]] style.
It is thought that Martini was a pupil of [[Duccio|Duccio di Buoninsegna]], the leading Sienese painter of his time. According to late Renaissance art biographer [[Giorgio Vasari]], Simone was instead a pupil of [[Giotto|Giotto di Bondone]], with whom he went to Rome to paint at the [[Old St. Peter's Basilica]], Giotto also executing a mosaic there. Martini's brother-in-law was the artist [[Lippo Memmi]]. Very little documentation of Simone's life survives, and many attributions are debated by art historians. According to E. H. Gombrich, he was a friend of Petrarch and had painted a portrait of Laura.

Simone was doubtlessly apprenticed from an early age, as would have been the normal practice. Among his first documented works is the ''[[Maestà (Simone Martini)|Maestà]]'' of 1315 in the [[Palazzo Pubblico]] in [[Siena]].<ref
Simone's other major works include the ''[[Saint Louis of Toulouse Crowning His Brother
Simone Martini died while in the service of the [[Avignon Papacy|Papal court]] at [[Avignon]] in 1344.
