Essay / Research Paper Abstract
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. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
