The ''Maestà'' (Italian for "Majesty") is a celebrated altarpiece composed by the Italian medieval artist Duccio di Buoninsegna. Created between 1308 and 1311, this masterpiece of Sienese painting was commissioned by the city of Siena for the high altar of its cathedral, the Duomo di Siena. The ''Maestà'' is renowned for its grand scale, intricate detail, and the innovation it brought to Italian art, marking a significant transition from Byzantine to more naturalistic styles.

Measuring approximately 7 meters in height and consisting of a complex multi-panelled construction, the ''Maestà'' is a double-sided altarpiece, with the front primarily depicting the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child enthroned, surrounded by angels and saints in a celestial court. This central image of the Madonna and Child, a common subject in medieval art, is rendered with unprecedented elegance and emotional depth, reflecting the growing emphasis on humanism that would come to define the Renaissance.

On the reverse side, Duccio painted a series of scenes from the life of Christ, unfolding in a narrative sequence that prefigures the development of Renaissance pictorial storytelling. The predella, the base of the altarpiece, contains further scenes from the life of the Virgin, adding to the comprehensive depiction of sacred history.

Duccio's ''Maestà'' is a seminal work in the history of Western art, representing the apex of Sienese Gothic painting. Its influence was profound, affecting the development of European art as it heralded a shift towards greater spatial depth, individuality of figures, and a more naturalistic approach to depicting the human form and emotions. The ''Maestà'' remains a testament to Duccio's skill as a painter and his ability to convey complex theological ideas through visual means. Today, the majority of the ''Maestà'' is housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena, although some panels have been dispersed to other museums around the world.
