Abstract
Duccio's signed and documented Maestà of 1308–1311 in Siena is the only work that permits us to define the painter's mature style, assess his intellectual stature, and evaluate his contribution to Sienese painting in particular and to Western European art in general.1Originally the retable of the high altar of Siena Cathedral, the painting was later removed to the nearby Museo dell'Opera del Duomo. Its front and rear sides were separated from each other, and panels from the predellas as well as from the corona made their way into foreign collections.
