'''Maestà (Madonna with Angels and Saints)''' is a pivotal work of Italian medieval art painted by Duccio di Buoninsegna, one of the most influential artists of the 13th and early 14th centuries. Created between 1308 and 1311, this monumental altarpiece was commissioned for the main altar of the Siena Cathedral in Siena, Italy. The Maestà, which in Italian means "Majesty," is celebrated for its grand scale and the delicate beauty of its figures, marking a significant transition from Byzantine art towards a more naturalistic style, which would eventually flourish during the Renaissance.

The front of the altarpiece features the Virgin Mary enthroned, holding the Christ Child, and surrounded by a host of angels and saints. This central panel is an iconic representation of the Madonna in Majesty, a popular subject in medieval art that symbolizes the Virgin's role as the Queen of Heaven. The Maestà is notable for its intricate use of gold leaf, the elaborate attention to detail, and the emotional connection between the figures, particularly the tender interaction between the Virgin and Child.

Duccio's Maestà was originally a double-sided altarpiece, with the reverse side depicting scenes from the life of Christ in a narrative sequence. This complex work of art was not only a devotional object but also a testament to the civic pride of Siena, as Duccio was one of the city's most esteemed artists. The altarpiece was disassembled in the 18th century, and its individual panels are now dispersed across several museums.

The Maestà stands as a masterpiece of the Sienese School and is a testament to Duccio's skill in blending traditional Byzantine iconography with emerging Gothic elements and an increased sense of naturalism. Its historical, religious, and artistic significance continues to be studied and admired, making it a cornerstone of art historical scholarship on the Italian Middle Ages.
