Madonna and Child with Saints Polyptych

Duccio di Buoninsegna's Madonna and Child with Saints Polyptych is a large multi-panel altarpiece organized in arched niches, with the central panel displaying the Virgin and Child. The composition is unified by a gold leaf background and an architectural frame, while figures wear rich reds, blues, and greens and pose in solemn, frontal stances. The work exemplifies the Sienese Gothic style, featuring refined line work, decorative drapery, and a hierarchical, devotional arrangement.
