The "Maestà" is a celebrated masterpiece of Italian medieval art by the painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, one of the most influential artists of his time. Created between 1308 and 1311, the Maestà, which means "Majesty" in Italian, was an altarpiece commissioned for the high altar of Siena Cathedral in Siena, Italy. It is not to be confused with any work from 1288-1300, as the known Maestà by Duccio dates specifically to the early 14th century.

This monumental work is a double-sided altarpiece, with the front panel depicting the Virgin Mary enthroned with the Christ Child surrounded by angels and saints, a traditional representation of the Virgin in majesty. The reverse side contains a complex narrative sequence of scenes from the life of Christ, divided into a series of individual panels. The Maestà is renowned for its intricate detail, use of color, and the emotional depth of its figures, marking a significant transition from the Byzantine style to a more naturalistic approach, which would later characterize the Italian Renaissance.

The Maestà was originally installed in the cathedral on June 9, 1311, an event that was celebrated with a festive procession through the city. Duccio's innovative use of space and his delicate attention to human expression were revolutionary for the time and exerted a considerable influence on the development of Italian painting, particularly in the Sienese School.

Over the centuries, the altarpiece has been dismantled, and its individual panels have been dispersed to various museums and collections around the world. The main panel of the Madonna and Child remains in the Museo dell'Opera Metropolitana del Duomo in Siena, along with a significant number of the narrative scenes from the predella and the back of the altarpiece. The Maestà remains a testament to Duccio's skill and a milestone in the history of Western art.
