Customer Reviews:
the medieval master.......2002-10-07
One of my very favorite artists, Duccio was a superb master of color and composition. The reproductions in this book are printed on good quality, glossy paper, with intense and rich hues. There are over 100 color reproductions, many of them in detail.
Because Duccio was rebellious, hot-headed, and mismanaged his money, more is known about him than other artists of his era, thanks to the many fines he was given that were recorded...but the town authorities who gave him the fines, were sometimes the same ones to give him commissions. It's presumed that he was born between 1255 and 1260, and died in late 1318 or in the early part of 1319.
His tender and majestic Madonna and Child panels are inspiring and of incredible beauty. The large "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Angels and Saints", which is the main panel from his "Maesta", is extraordinary in its symmetry, and its perfection, from the exquisite feet of the Christ Child, to each fold of embroidered cloth.
It's interesting to compare the "Annunciation" (pg. 26), with the "Announcement of Death" (pg. 74). Both with a strong angel, and a serene, all-knowing Mary.
Another glorious piece is "Entry into Jerusalem", from the "Stories of the Passion" panels. The composition, with its flowing lines, is Duccio at his most sublime.
Well written and extensively researched by Cecilia Jannella, this 1991 book is a treasure for anyone who loves the work of this Sienese master.

Book Description
Duccio di Buoninsegna, one of the greatest of the early Italian painters, was the father of the Sienese school. This volume draws together all the contemporary documentation concerning his life and works, all the notices of the painter in the Sienese chronicles, and both published and unpublished secondary sources to the middle of the nineteenth century. Concluding with a rich bibliography, this book will become the foundation for further scholarship and a means for teaching students to handle original documentary notices.

Book Description
In 1308, Duccio di Buoninsegna, one of the foremost European artists and the founder of the Sienese school, signed a contract to paint a panel for the high altar of Siena's cathedral. Three years later, the richest and most complex altarpiece ever created in Italy--the Maest--was carried amid general jubilation from the artist's workshop to be installed in the cathedral. It was the greatest achievement of Duccio's career and remains one of the most beautiful works in Italian art. Centuries later, the altarpiece was removed from the cathedral and several panels were separated from it. While most of the Maest--forty-six panels--survives in Siena's Cathedral Museum, parts of it can be found in museum collections around the world, including the National Gallery and the Frick Collection. This book brings together the known fragments and unites them with the two-sided altarpiece, illustrating the work in 150 sumptuous color plates, many of which reproduce details in actual size. The central panel on the front of the altarpiece shows the Virgin Enthroned with Angels and Saints, while the back contains mainly scenes from the Passion. Other panels depict the Apostles and scenes from the Life of Christ and the Gospel story. The authoritative text, by a noted Italian art historian, discusses the social and historical context of Duccio's commission, the artist's relationship with Cimabue and Giotto, and the influence of the work on Sienese and Italian painting.
Customer Reviews:
Great idea, variable reproductions.......2000-03-27
Any lover of Duccio's poetic and heartbreaking paintings will certainly want this book. But let the buyer be aware that many of the remarkable close up , actual-sized photographs are so out of color that the experience is compromised. As great an attempt as this book is in providing clear and insightful essays and the wealth of photos, each time I open the book, the overwhelmingly "hot" nature of the salmonly reproductions diminish the experience.
