Christ Before Annas (top); Peter Denying Jesus (bottom)
1309
Two connected scenes fill a single panel: the top register shows Christ with a halo at the center, surrounded by guards and officials in a shallow, stage-like interior framed by arches; the bottom register depicts Peter denying Jesus, seated by a fire outside with a group of disciples and onlookers around him. The figures are elongated and posed in formal, frontal gestures, with a restrained palette of reds, ochres, greens, and blues and linear drapery details set against architectural spaces. The style reflects Duccio’s Siena school of the early 14th century, combining decorative Gothic outlines with a narrative, almost sacramental clarity.
