"Parting from St. John" (1308-1311) is a significant work by the Italian painter Duccio di Buoninsegna, a prominent figure in the development of Italian painting, particularly within the Sienese school. This artwork forms part of the Maestà, a large altarpiece that was commissioned for the cathedral of Siena and is considered Duccio's masterpiece. The Maestà is a double-sided altarpiece, with the front displaying the Virgin and Child enthroned and surrounded by saints and angels, and the back narrating scenes from the life of Christ.

The "Parting from St. John" panel is one of the many narrative scenes on the back of the Maestà that depict pivotal moments from the New Testament. This particular panel illustrates the emotional moment of farewell between Christ and Saint John the Evangelist. Duccio's work is renowned for its delicate treatment of emotion and its innovative use of color and light, which can be seen in the tender expressions and interactions between the figures in this scene.

Duccio's influence on the development of European art cannot be overstated. His work marks a transition from the Byzantine style of iconography to a more naturalistic approach, setting the stage for the Renaissance. The "Parting from St. John" exemplifies this shift, showcasing Duccio's skill in creating depth and volume within the figures, as well as a sense of narrative drama.

The Maestà, and consequently the "Parting from St. John," was originally installed in Siena Cathedral in 1311, but was later dismantled in the 18th century. Today, the surviving panels are dispersed across several museums, with the majority, including the main panel of the Virgin and Child, housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Siena. The "Parting from St. John" remains a testament to Duccio's legacy and his pivotal role in the evolution of Western art.
