EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Duccio di Buoninsegna's masterpiece, "Passion: the ascent to Calvary" which is part of the Maesta altarpiece. Created between 1308 and 1311, this tempera and gold on wood artwork is housed in the Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Siena, Italy. The photograph provides a glimpse into the back of the altarpiece, revealing a stunning painting by Duccio di Buoninsegna. Measuring 50x55 cm, this piece features a golden background that adds an ethereal glow to the scene. The artist skillfully depicts various biblical characters and scenes related to Christ's crucifixion. Intricate details such as aureoles surrounding figures, crosses symbolizing sacrifice, and chains representing suffering can be observed throughout the composition. The central focus lies on Virgin Mary as she witnesses her son's journey towards Calvary. Duccio di Buoninsegna's work exemplifies trecento art from the Italian Middle Ages with its meticulous craftsmanship and religious subject matter. This painting serves as a testament to his mastery of tempera technique and his ability to convey profound emotions through brushstrokes. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by photographer Luisa Ricciarini, we are transported back in time to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It stands as a testament to faith, devotion, and the enduring power of religious art across centuries.
