Burial 1311

Duccio's "Burial" (c. 1311) is a poignant depiction of the lamentation of Christ. The figures surrounding the body of Christ are rendered with delicate detail, their grief palpable in their postures and expressions. This panel, part of the larger "Maestà," showcases Duccio's mastery of the Sienese style, characterized by its graceful lines and rich colors. The painting's devotional purpose is evident, inviting viewers to contemplate the suffering of Christ and the power of faith.
