This distinguished artwork portrays the Madonna delicately holding the Christ Child, surrounded by angelic figures. The Madonna’s solemn and gentle demeanor as she gazes at the Child is central to the composition, while the angels depicted along the arch contribute to a divine and celestial atmosphere. Duccio’s use of tempera on wood demonstrates his mastery in capturing delicate details and creating rich, luminous colors. The artwork vividly reflects the spiritual and artistic values of the Proto Renaissance period.
