Crevole Madonna 1280

Duccio's "Crevole Madonna" from 1280 portrays the Virgin Mary with a serene and solemn expression. The painting, a close-up of Mary's head and shoulders, exemplifies the artistic style of the Sienese school of painting in the 13th century. Known for its delicate lines, vibrant colors, and intricate details, this work showcases Duccio's mastery in capturing both the spiritual and human aspects of religious figures. The Madonna's gaze, directed towards the viewer, evokes a sense of contemplation and invites a deep connection between the observer and the divine.
