"Disputation with the Doctors" (1308-1311) is a significant work by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, who is considered one of the most influential artists of the 13th and early 14th centuries. This artwork is part of a larger ensemble known as the Maestà, which is Duccio's most renowned masterpiece, originally created for the high altar of the Cathedral of Siena. The Maestà is a double-sided altarpiece, with the front primarily depicting the Virgin and Child enthroned, surrounded by saints and angels, and the back narrating scenes from the life of Christ.

The "Disputation with the Doctors" panel is one of the many scenes from the back of the Maestà that illustrates episodes from the New Testament. Specifically, it depicts the story from the Gospel of Luke (2:41-52) where the twelve-year-old Jesus, having been found in the Temple of Jerusalem, engages in a learned discussion with the Jewish elders, to the amazement of Mary and Joseph as well as the scholars present.

Duccio's work on this panel is notable for its delicate attention to detail and its narrative clarity. The artist's use of color, composition, and expression serves to convey the astonishment of the onlookers and the serene wisdom of the young Christ. The figures are elegantly posed and their interactions suggest a depth of character and emotion that was innovative for its time, reflecting the transition from the Byzantine style to the more naturalistic approach of the early Renaissance.

The "Disputation with the Doctors" is an exemplar of Duccio's skill in storytelling through art and his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a sense of humanity and realism. This panel, along with the rest of the Maestà, played a significant role in the development of Italian painting, influencing generations of artists in Siena and beyond. Today, the Maestà is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena, where it continues to be admired for its historical importance and artistic beauty.
