"Life of Mary" is an integral part of the Maestà, a masterpiece attributed to the Tuscan painter Duccio di Buoninsegna The Maestà, an altarpiece commissioned for the Siena Cathedral in Italy, was created around 1308-1311, a testament to Duccio's seminal role in the development of Western art. The double-sided artwork, one of the most significant in the history of European painting, predominantly depicts the Virgin Mary and her Son surrounded by saints and angels on the front, while the back features 43 small scenes detailing the life of Christ and the Virgin. Among these is the "Life of Mary."

The "Life of Mary" comprises a series of thematically related images showcasing significant events from Mary's life as recounted in medieval Christian tradition. Although the individual scenes are separate entities, they are loosely organized to correspond with the narrative sequence. In these depicted moments, Duccio showcases his artistic prowess through a marriage of the older Byzantine style and new elements that were groundbreaking for his time. What makes the "Life of Mary" remarkable is not only how it embodies the evolution of European art but its compelling storytelling, which served to connect the spectators with the celestial world.

Duccio's sophisticated handling of scale, perspective, and compositional structuring in the "Life of Mary" reflect his command of narrative and his innovative departure from the iconicity of Byzantine art. The humanist tendencies of Duccio's work arguably paved the way for the advent of the Renaissance in Italy.

Over the centuries, the "Life of Mary," along with the entire Maestà, has been disassembled and reassembled, resulting in some panels' loss and a transformation of the original arrangement. Yet, the surviving fragments continue to exert a profound influence on the understanding of European art, signifying Duccio's contributions to advancing pictorial art. Moreover, they highlight the narrative function of painting in the Christian religious context, emphasising both its didactic and devotional aspects.
