The Crevole Madonna is a notable work of Italian medieval art by the Sienese painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, created between 1283 and 1284. This tempera and gold on wood panel painting is an early example of Duccio's work and is significant for its role in the development of the Sienese style, which diverged from the more rigid and formal Byzantine style that dominated prior to the 13th century. The Crevole Madonna is named after its original location in the church of Santa Maria in Crevole, near Siena.

Measuring 70 x 42 cm, the painting depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child. The Madonna is shown as a serene and tender figure, a departure from the more austere icons of the preceding era. Her gaze is downcast, suggesting humility and contemplation, while the Child looks directly at the viewer, establishing a connection that was innovative for the time. The intimate interaction between mother and child is a hallmark of Duccio's approach to religious subjects, which emphasizes human emotion and divine connection.

The Crevole Madonna is characterized by its refined use of line and color, as well as the delicate rendering of the figures' drapery. The gold leaf background, a typical feature of medieval religious paintings, highlights the sacred nature of the scene and gives the composition a luminous quality. The work's detailed execution and the subtle modeling of the figures' faces reflect Duccio's mastery of the medium and foreshadow the naturalism that would become a defining feature of the Italian Renaissance.

Today, the Crevole Madonna is housed in the Museo dell'Opera Metropolitana del Duomo in Siena, Italy. It remains an important piece for the study of early Italian painting and is recognized for its influence on the evolution of the depiction of the Madonna and Child in Western art. The Crevole Madonna is not only a testament to Duccio's individual artistry but also a reflection of the broader cultural and artistic shifts occurring in Italy at the end of the 13th century.
