Entry into Jerusalem

Duccio di Buoninsegna's Entry into Jerusalem is set against a gold ground and rendered in a shallow, stage-like space. A haloed central figure is part of a procession moving along a raised causeway toward a walled gate, while a dense crowd fills the foreground and terrace above, creating strong diagonals and a sense of movement. The warm palette of reds, ochres, and greens is outlined with fine lines, reflecting the Sienese Gothic and Byzantine-influenced style characteristic of Duccio.
