''Maestà'' (Detail from the Maestà Altarpiece) or ''Entry into Jerusalem'' is a celebrated work by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, created as part of his larger commission for Siena Cathedral. The ''Maestà'', Duccio's masterpiece, is an altarpiece that was originally installed in the cathedral in 1311. It is renowned for its complex narrative scenes and significant influence on the development of Italian painting.

The ''Entry into Jerusalem'' is one of the many individual scenes depicted on the front and back of the altarpiece, which together illustrate the life of the Virgin Mary and the life and Passion of Christ. This particular panel captures the moment of Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem before his eventual crucifixion, an event celebrated in the Christian liturgy on Palm Sunday. The scene is characterized by its detailed portrayal of the cityscape, the animated crowd of figures, and the depiction of Christ riding a donkey, reflecting the biblical account.

Duccio's work on the ''Maestà'' marked a significant departure from the Byzantine style that had dominated Italian painting. His use of more naturalistic figures, spatial depth, and emotional expression were innovative for the time and signaled the beginning of the Sienese School's contribution to the Italian Renaissance. The ''Entry into Jerusalem'' exemplifies Duccio's skill in creating a narrative that is both visually engaging and spiritually resonant.

The ''Maestà'' altarpiece was disassembled in the 18th century, and its individual panels are now dispersed across several museums. The ''Entry into Jerusalem'' remains a key example of Duccio's artistry and is studied for its historical and aesthetic significance as part of the larger narrative of the altarpiece. The work is admired for its delicate use of color, attention to detail, and its pivotal role in the evolution of Western art.
