The Maestà, or Maestà of Duccio, is a celebrated altarpiece composed by the Italian medieval artist Duccio di Buoninsegna. Created for the city of Siena's Cathedral, the Maestà is an iconic work of Sienese Gothic art and a masterpiece of the early Italian Renaissance. It was commissioned by the city of Siena in 1308 and completed by Duccio in 1311. This monumental work is renowned for its complex narrative scenes and the elegance of its figures, marking a significant transition from the Byzantine style prevalent in Italian painting to a more naturalistic approach.

The front of the altarpiece is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the patron saint of Siena, and depicts her enthroned with the Christ Child surrounded by angels and saints in a composition known as a sacra conversazione. The reverse side contains a series of panels illustrating the Life of Christ, culminating in the Passion and the early events of the Resurrection. The Maestà originally stood as the central feature of the cathedral's high altar, serving both as a religious object of veneration and a symbol of Sienese civic pride.

Duccio's Maestà is notable for its innovation in narrative and use of space. The artist's ability to convey emotion and to create a sense of depth and volume in the figures was unprecedented at the time. The altarpiece's influence was profound, impacting the development of Italian painting and setting the stage for future masters such as Giotto. Today, the Maestà is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena, although it has been disassembled into separate panels. Despite this, it remains a key work for understanding the evolution of European painting and the artistic achievements of the Late Middle Ages.
