Italian painter, a major figure in the
Sienese school. His greatest work is his
altarpiece for Siena Cathedral, the Maesta
1308-11; the figure of the Virgin is
Byzantine in style, with much gold detail,
but Duccio also created a graceful linear
harmony in drapery hems, for example, and
this proved a lasting characteristic of
Sienese style.
