Duccio (di Buoninsegna)(born 13th century, Siena, Republic of Siena—died c. 1318, Siena?) Italian painter. Little is known of his life, but several commission records survive, as well as two documented works, the Rucellai Madonna for the Florentine church of Santa Maria Novella (1285) and the famous Maestà altarpiece for Siena Cathedral (1308–11); both represent landmarks in the history of Italian painting. His style reflected the influence of Cimabue and Byzantine art, though he introduced a warmth of human feeling that was comparable to that of Giotto in Florentine painting. He was the leading painter in Siena, one of Italy's most vital artistic centres in the Middle Ages. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

But as with the artist's past work, in which he used Japanese Edo-period imagery and aesthetics to frame East-West culture clashes and epidemics including AIDS and McDonald's, Teraoka here filtered a contemporary image stream through various past styles and approaches, this time with obvious nods to Renaissance artists including Duccio, Fra Angelico, Masaccio, and Botticelli; the proto-Surrealist Bosch; and the Weimar satirists George Grosz and Max Beckmann. |
