The Rucellai Madonna is a seminal work of Italian medieval art by the celebrated painter Duccio di Buoninsegna. Created in 1285, this altarpiece is one of the earliest known works by Duccio, who is considered a pivotal figure in the transition from the Byzantine style to the more naturalistic approach that characterizes the early Renaissance. The painting was commissioned by the Laudesi confraternity for the chapel of the Rucellai family in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, which accounts for its name.

Measuring an impressive 450 cm × 290 cm (15 feet × 9.5 feet), the Rucellai Madonna is a tempera and gold on wood depiction of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus. Mary is shown seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child, who blesses the viewer. The figures are surrounded by angels, and the use of gold leaf throughout the work creates a rich, luminous effect that was typical of religious art of the period.

The Rucellai Madonna is notable for its blend of Byzantine iconography with a new tenderness and intimacy in the figures' expressions and interactions. This reflects the evolving tastes and devotional practices of the time, which began to emphasize a more personal connection to the divine. The painting's composition, with its clear, harmonious lines and balanced proportions, also demonstrates Duccio's mastery of space and form, which would influence the development of Italian painting in the 14th century.

Today, the Rucellai Madonna is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be an object of admiration and study for its historical significance and its role in the evolution of Western art. Its attribution to Duccio has been essential in understanding the artist's early style and the artistic context of Siena and Florence at the end of the 13th century.
