Duccio di Buoninsegna’s Maesta Altarpiece in the Cathedral of Siena
[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses the richly embellished Maestà Altarpiece (created 1308-1311) is an example of how numerous Italian paintings were originally parts of altarpieces, which are several paintings grouped in one large panel to adorn an altar. Italian painter, Duccio di Buoninsegna (1255-1319), founder of the Sienese school of painting, was a forerunner of the Renaissance style, who fundamentally perfected the Byzantine tradition in the art of medieval Italy. All of his work involves a religious subject and is characterized by sensitive drawing, skillful composition, a decorative quality akin to that of mosaic, and a more intense emotional tone than that of the Byzantine models he followed.
