"Maestà: Jesus before Herod" is a notable artwork by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, a pivotal figure in the development of Italian Renaissance art. This piece forms part of Duccio's larger work, the Maestà, which is a significant altarpiece originally created for Siena Cathedral. Duccio di Buoninsegna, active during the late 13th and early 14th centuries, is renowned for his contributions to the Sienese painting style, which is characterized by its emphasis on linearity, color, and intricate details, as well as for the emotional depth and spiritual expressiveness of his figures.

"Jesus before Herod" is a narrative scene that depicts the episode from the Passion of Christ where Jesus, after being arrested, is brought before Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. This episode is part of the events leading up to the Crucifixion of Jesus, as described in the New Testament. In Duccio's representation, the figures are imbued with a sense of dignity and grace, characteristic of his style, which bridges the Byzantine iconographic tradition with the emerging naturalism that would come to define the Renaissance.

The artwork is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures and the setting, as well as for the use of color and gold leaf, which adds a divine luminosity to the scene. Duccio's skill in conveying complex narratives and emotions through his compositions is evident in this work, which captures the tension and solemnity of the biblical story.

As part of the Maestà altarpiece, "Jesus before Herod" contributes to the overarching theme of the Majesty of Christ, showcasing Duccio's mastery in creating a cohesive narrative cycle that combines theological depth with artistic innovation. The Maestà, and by extension "Jesus before Herod," holds a crucial place in the history of Western art, marking a transition towards more naturalistic and human-centered approaches to religious subjects.

Today, the Maestà, including "Jesus before Herod," is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena, Italy, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance, artistic beauty, and spiritual resonance.
