"Christ Mocked (detail 1)" is a significant work by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, created between 1308 and 1311 as part of his larger masterpiece, the Maestà. This particular detail is part of the predella, the lowermost section of the altarpiece, which often contains narrative scenes. The Maestà, originally commissioned for the high altar of the Cathedral of Siena, is a seminal work in the history of Italian painting and marks a transition from the Byzantine style to the more naturalistic approach that characterizes the Renaissance.

The "Christ Mocked" scene is one of several that depict the Passion of Christ, illustrating the events leading up to his crucifixion. In this detail, Duccio captures the moment when Jesus, having been arrested and tried, is subjected to humiliation and mockery by his captors. The work is noted for its emotional intensity and the delicate interplay of gazes between the figures, which reflects the artist's innovative approach to narrative and character.

Duccio's use of color and light in "Christ Mocked (detail 1)" demonstrates his mastery of the tempera medium and his understanding of spatial composition. The figures are rendered with a sense of volume and individuality that was groundbreaking for the time, moving away from the flat, gold backgrounds and static figures of earlier medieval art.

As a part of the Maestà, "Christ Mocked (detail 1)" contributes to the overall devotional purpose of the altarpiece, inviting viewers to engage with the sacred narrative on a personal level. Today, the Maestà is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena, and "Christ Mocked (detail 1)" remains an important example of Duccio's contribution to the development of Western art, reflecting both his deep religious sentiment and his innovative artistic techniques that would influence generations of artists to come.
