"Healing the Man Born Blind (Fragment)" is a tempera painting on wood panel created by the Italian artist Duccio di Buoninsegna around 1311. This fragment, likely part of a larger altarpiece, depicts the biblical miracle of Jesus healing a blind man. Duccio's masterful use of color and detail, characteristic of the Sienese School of painting, brings the scene to life. The figures are rendered with expressive faces, emphasizing the emotion of the moment. Duccio's attention to light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, enhancing the impact of this powerful scene. This fragment serves as a testament to Duccio's skill and the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
