Sienese painting was similar to the art of the art of Florence even though the two cities had a bitter rivalry. Part of the rivalry was due to the political divide between the Guelphs who supported the Roman pope (Florence) and the Ghibellines who supported the Holy Roman Empire (Siena). Due to the ties with the Holy Roman Empire along with ties to the French papacy in Avignon, the Sienese had more artistic influenced which were derived from the International Gothic style found in Germany and France. This can be seen in the poses and folds of drapery in his figures. But Duccio like Giotto is painting in a way that captures the intelligence and personality of each saint and angel
