Synopsis
Excerpt from Twelve Scenes From the Life of Christ, After Duccio Di Buoninsegna
Vasari. In this well-known sage. Tells of Cimabue and the Madonna. W ich now hangs in the Rucellai chapel in S. Maria Novella. A story which a Sienese chronicle and certain con temporary documents relate of Duccio the son of Buoninsegna and the great se ieee from which our illustrations are taken. Uch has been written about the Rucellai Madonna. But fortunately we are not concerned here with the higher criticism of Italian Art. All the critics do not yet admit that the Madonna which Vasari says Cimabue painted is really the work of Duccio; but about the great altar-piece. The M a jestes. At Siena. There is fortunately no doubt.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents twelve scenes from the life of Christ based on the artwork of the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna. Beyond its artistic beauty, the book is a profound meditation on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The author provides historical context on the development of religious art during the early 14th century, and analyzes the ways in which Duccio's work reflected and influenced the transition from Byzantine to Italian artistic traditions. The book delves into the innovative techniques and iconography employed by Duccio, his use of color and composition to convey emotion and meaning. Through a thoughtful examination of the twelve scenes, the author explores themes of faith, redemption, sacrifice, and the human condition. This book offers both an appreciation of Duccio's artistic genius and a deeper understanding of the significance of Christ's life in Western art and culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
