Collection: Duccio di Buoninsegna

Duccio di Buoninsegna (1260–c. 1318), commonly known as just Duccio, was an Italian painter active in Siena, Tuscany, in the late 13th and early 14th century. He was hired throughout his life to complete many important works in government and religious buildings around Italy. Duccio is considered one of the greatest Italian painters of the Middle Ages, and is credited with creating the painting styles of Trecento Gothic style and the Sienese school.

He studied under Cimabue. Among his canonical works are Panels formerly part of Maestà, Massa Marittima Maestà, Capture of Castle, and Christ appearing at the Apostles' table. He worked primarily in religious painting.

The work sits within the Renaissance tradition, specifically the Early Renaissance current.
