"Crucifixion (1308-1311)" is a significant religious painting by the Italian artist Duccio di Buoninsegna, a prominent figure in the development of Italian painting, particularly within the Sienese school. This work is part of a larger ensemble known as the Maestà, which was originally commissioned for the high altar of the Cathedral of Siena. The Maestà is a double-sided altarpiece, with the front displaying the Madonna and Child enthroned and surrounded by saints and angels, and the back narrating the Passion of Christ through a series of individual panels, among which the "Crucifixion" is a central and emotionally compelling piece.

The "Crucifixion" panel measures approximately 51 x 56 cm and is executed in tempera and gold on wood. It depicts the pivotal moment of Jesus Christ's death on the cross, flanked by the mourning figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist, who are traditionally shown at the foot of the cross in scenes of the Crucifixion. Duccio's rendering of the scene is noted for its emotional depth and the use of delicate lines and color to convey the solemnity and tragedy of the event.

Duccio's innovative approach to composition, as well as his ability to infuse his figures with a sense of pathos, marks a departure from the more static and symbolic style of Byzantine art, paving the way for the more naturalistic styles that would come to dominate the Italian Renaissance. The "Crucifixion" is particularly lauded for its narrative clarity and the humanization of its sacred subjects, reflecting the changing attitudes towards religious art during the period.

Today, the "Crucifixion" panel, along with the rest of the Maestà, is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena. It remains an important work for the study of Gothic art and provides valuable insight into the transitional period of European art at the dawn of the Renaissance. The "Crucifixion" continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its significant role in the evolution of Western art.
