Christ in front of Anna 1311

"Christ in front of Anna" is a panel painting created in 1311 by the Italian artist Duccio. The painting depicts the moment when Jesus is brought before the high priestess Anna, who is seated on a throne and gesturing towards him. The scene is filled with a sense of drama and tension, with the soldiers surrounding Jesus and the figures in the background all looking on with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The painting is a powerful example of Duccio's skill as a painter, and is a key work in the development of the Sienese School of painting.
