"Saint Margaret of Cortona" is a 14th-century tempera on panel painting by the Italian artist Ambrogio Lorenzetti, renowned for his contributions to the Sienese School of painting. The artwork, dated to circa 1330, depicts Saint Margaret of Cortona, a Franciscan penitent known for her piety and charitable works. Lorenzetti's portrayal is significant for its devotional impact and the artist's characteristic attention to emotional expression and detail.

The painting showcases Saint Margaret in a state of religious ecstasy or contemplation, a common theme in Christian art of the period, reflecting the increasing emphasis on personal piety and the emotional aspects of religious experience during the late medieval period. Lorenzetti's work is particularly noted for its refined use of color and light, as well as the detailed rendering of Saint Margaret's features, which convey a sense of her spiritual fervor and humility.

As a part of Lorenzetti's oeuvre, "Saint Margaret of Cortona" contributes to our understanding of the evolution of Italian Renaissance art, particularly in the context of the Sienese School's distinct aesthetic, which often rivaled the more widely recognized Florentine School. The painting is also an important piece for the study of female sainthood and the visual culture of sanctity in the Middle Ages, as it provides insight into the iconography associated with Saint Margaret and the broader hagiographic tradition.

Today, "Saint Margaret of Cortona" is held in high esteem both for its artistic merit and its cultural significance. The painting is a valuable artifact for art historians, scholars of religious studies, and those interested in the role of women in medieval spirituality. It continues to be a subject of scholarly research and is appreciated by modern audiences for its aesthetic qualities and historical importance.
