In 2004 the Metropolitan Museum acquired an extremely rare and beautiful Madonna and Child by
the great painter Duccio di Buoninsegna. Duccio, who died in 1318, has
long been recognized as the father of Sienese painting, and he fostered a
new generation of talented and innovative painters. In art history
textbooks, however, his considerable contribution to European painting
is often overshadowed by the work of his contemporary Giotto.
Christiansen examines the fascinating connection between Giotto and
Duccio, which he likens to Michelangelo’s relationship with Raphael, or
Picasso’s with Matisse, and explains the particular qualities that make
Duccio such an essential artist.
