520			_aSince the early 1990s, discourse on �good governance� has become more prevalent. What �good governance� means and entails, however, and when we can speak of �good� governance in this discourse, is not always clear. Many scholars in public administration and other social sciences writing about good governance have used visual interpretations of good governance from centuries ago to illustrate their case in point. Here, we also use pictures from the past � Lorenzetti�s Sienese frescoes to be more precise � yet, not as an illustration, but as the core of the argument. Our main research question is:�how can Lorenzetti�s frescoes of Good Governance inspire our modern-day conception of good governance?�We conclude that good governance is governance by good governors, and good governors are governors guided by benevolence. We end with a discussion of what that entails for modern-day governance practice. - Reproduced.
