	MyStudios- Duccio di Buoninsegna
		Duccio respected what probably appeared to him as the specifics of the Christian primitive style: elongated bodies, delicate limbs, oval faces with long noses and small mouths, pale flesh colour, a canonical repertoire of gestures complete with stock attitudes of walking or standing, and a concern with flowing robes and with landscape.
		Duccio's delicate figures have so many hair styles (wavy, curly, straight or bushy) and are wearing so many carefully differentiated materials that it almost seems he had been out to demonstrate the superiority of his figures over the rather wooden ones in Giotto's Ognissanti Madonna.
		Duccio had greater opportunity to naturalize the Christian primitive manner in the pictures for the Marian predella (some, of which are lost) and the twenty-six scenes of the Passion which he painted on the back of the Maesti.

	History of Art: Gothic Art-Duccio di Buoninsegna
		Duccio was ableto draw from sources outside Siena as well: from the combination of linear stylization and Hellenistic types that characterized the illustrations of books imported from Constantinople and also from contemporary French Gothic miniatures, with their lively tone and lyrical, animated stylizations of clothing and gesture.
		Duccio may also have travelled to Florence in his early years, coming into contact with Cimabue, but such an explanation is not entirely necessary to account for the formation of his style.
		The work in which the genius of Duccio unfolds in all its brilliant fullness and the one to which the painter owes his greatest fame, however, is the “Maesta,” the altarpiece for the main altar of the cathedral of Siena.

	Biography
		Duccio di Buoninsegna was the first great Sienese painter, and he stands in relation to the Sienese School as Giotto does to the Florentine; yet without the powerful naturalism that makes the art of Giotto so revolutionary.
		Rather, Duccio sums up the grave and austere beauty of centuries of Byzantine tradition and infuses it with a breath of the new humanity which was being spread by the new Orders of SS.
		Duccio is first recorded in 1278 and 1279, working for the Commune, and then in 1280 he was heavily fined for an unspecified offence, probably political: it was the first of many fines to be inflicted on him, but the others were all much smaller.

		What impressed Duccio were the illusionistic devices Giotto introduced to frame the individual scenes as well as his ability to create a cogent, pictorial space inhabited by figures possessing weight and density.
		Duccio responded by exploring in his own art this new world of sentiment and emotional response, but with a lyricism and sensitivity to color that became the basis of Sienese painting.
		Duccio’s early paintings are still strongly indebted to the visual and iconographic traditions we associate with Byzantine art.

		Duccio was able to draw from sources outside Siena as well: from the combination of linear stylization and Hellenistic types that characterized the illustrations of books imported from Constantinople and also from contemporary French Gothic miniatures, with their lively tone and lyrical, animated stylizations of clothing and gesture.
		During this period, some unsigned and undocumented altarpieces appeared, and some of these are certainly Duccio's work; the most significant of these is a small altarpiece representing the Virgin enthroned with angels and called "The Madonna of the Franciscans" because of the three monks kneeling at the foot of the throne.
		The work in which the genius of Duccio unfolds in all its brilliant fullness and the one to which the painter owes his greatest fame, however, is the "Maestà," the altarpiece for the main altar of the cathedral of Siena.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Duccio di Buoninsegna
		Although still hieratical and archaic, Duccio's "Madonna", when compared, for instance, with that of Guido of Siena, painted in 1221 and shown today in the Palazzo Pubblico of Siena, seems fully to deserve its celebrity.
		Duccio painted only frame (and panel) pictures and, without doubt, miniatures, and hence the oblivion into which he fell in a country where monumental painting alone is glorified.
		Duccio seems to have been gay and light-hearted.

	Duccio
		Duccio was the first, and arguably the greatest of Sienese artists, comparable with Cimabue and Giotto.
		Duccio's Rucellai Madonna was attributed by Vasari to Cimabue, along with the triumphal procession that accompanied the installation of the Maesta in Siena Cathedral.
		Ghiberti's note on Duccio reads, in full: "In Siena there was also Duccio, who was most noble; he retained the Greek manner; by his hand is the main altarpiece of the cathedral of Siena; and on the front of it the Coronation of Our Lady and on the back the New Testament.

	Duccio and the Art of Siena
		Duccio di Buoninsegna (active 1278-1318) was the principal painter in Siena, Florence's major rival at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
		And this picture Duccio di Niccolò the painter made, and it was made in the house of the Muciatti outside the gate a Stalloreggi.
		The Sienese appeals to this image of their patron saint were believed to have lead to the salvation of the city from the Florentines in the Battle of Montaperti in 1260.

		Commenting on Duccio's achievement, Keith Christiansen, the Jayne Wrightsman Curator of European Paintings, remarked: "In certain respects, we might say that Duccio was to Giotto what Matisse was to Picasso.
		Scholars have drawn an analogy between Duccio's infusion of life into time-worn, Byzantine schemes, and the popular devotional poetry of the Franciscans, on the one hand, and the exalted love poetry of Dante, on the other.
		This must have been a trip to Assisi, where Duccio studied the recently completed fresco cycle of the life of Saint Francis by Giotto and a large équipe of assistants.

		Although Duccio drew much on Byzantine tradition, he introduced a new warmth of human feeling that gives him a role in Sienese painting comparable to that of Giotto in Florentine painting.
		He re-creates the biblical stories with great vividness, and as no one else before him he succeeds in making the setting of a scene-a room or a hillside-a dramatic constituent of the action, so that figures and surroundings are intimately bound up together.
		The other main work attributed to Duccio is the large Rucellai Madonna (Uffizi, Florence), which is probably the picture documented as having been painted by him for Sta Maria Novella, Florence, in 1285.

		Secondo un’antica tradizione la Madonna col Bambino (Icona Duccio di Buoninsegna- Icone della bottega) venne fortuitamente scoperta da un contadino stupito dal fatto che i suoi buoi si fossero arrestati e inginocchiati di fronte alla sacra immagine, che era sistemata sotto un tettuccio, come in un devozionale tabernacolo viario.
		Esso mostrava un artista capace di rinnovare profondamente la trama della pittura bizantina, attento al dato quotidiano e naturale reso con una gamma cromatica di grande intensità.

	Duccio's Madonna and Child (kottke.org)
		The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently purchased a painting called Madonna and Child by Duccio di Buoninsegna.
		I had the good fortune to stumble across the Duccio at the Met a few weeks ago (I was there for the Diane Arbus exhibition and passed it by accident on the way to another part of the musuem).
		With these subtle changes, Duccio consciously developed an image of sublime tenderness and poignant humanity, almost a visual echo of the spiritual renewal that St. Francis of Assisi had wrought only a few decades earlier.

		Because Duccio was rebellious, hot-headed, and mismanaged his money, more is known about him than other artists of his era, thanks to the many fines he was given that were recorded...but the town authorities who gave him the fines, were sometimes the same ones to give him commissions.
		It's presumed that he was born between 1255 and 1260, and died in late 1318 or in the early part of 1319.
		The composition, with its flowing lines, is Duccio at his most sublime.
