The Rucellai Madonna is a seminal work of Italian medieval art painted by Duccio di Buoninsegna, one of the most influential artists of the 13th and early 14th centuries. Created in 1285, this tempera and gold on wood panel painting is renowned for its size, measuring approximately 450 cm × 290 cm (15 feet × 9.5 feet), and for its historical significance as a milestone in the development of Italian panel painting.

Commissioned by the Laudesi confraternity for the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, the Rucellai Madonna is the earliest known work attributed to Duccio. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned, holding the Christ Child, and is flanked by angels. Its name is derived from the Rucellai family, a prominent Florentine family who later became the owners of the chapel where the painting was housed.

Duccio's work on the Rucellai Madonna marks a transition from the Byzantine style of art, characterized by its formalism and lack of depth, to a more naturalistic approach that would come to define the Italian Renaissance. The Madonna's tender expression, the soft modeling of her face, and the intricate details of her throne all contribute to the painting's reputation as a masterpiece of the late Duecento period.

The Rucellai Madonna is also notable for its influence on future generations of artists, including Duccio's own students and followers. Its blend of Byzantine iconography with a new, more human approach to religious subjects set the stage for the evolving styles of Giotto and other pre-Renaissance painters.

Today, the Rucellai Madonna is housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical importance and artistic beauty. Its preservation and display in one of the world's premier art museums is a testament to its enduring legacy in the canon of Western art.
