Biography:
One of the earliest figures in Western Art, the first known works of Duccio di Buonisegna were decorated manuscript cases that date back to 1278. Originally credited to Cimabue, it was actually Duccio who painted the Rucellai Madonna for the church of Santa Maria Novella in 1285. His altarpiece created for the Cathedral of Siena is considered one of the greatest paintings of all time. Duccio’s work marked the end of Byzantine tradition and the beginning of the Sienese School and modern art.
