Description

ART REPRODUCTION by Duccio di Buoninsegna (Silvia Salvadori, Art Reproductions). Work performed with the ancient pictorial techniques of the Sienese school of the fifteenth century. Icon, Madonna and Child (detail of the face), Crevole. Hand painted sacred icon. Reproduction of art by Duccio di Buoninsegna. Tempera and pure gold on an ancient table. Relief gold engravings. To his youth production belongs the Madonna di Crevole which is located in the museum of the Siena Cathedral. In this work the models of his formation are evident: the schematic drapery and the use of gold from Byzantine painting, elements deriving from the Gothic miniature and typically Byzantine iconographic motifs. In the same period, while Cimabue and his followers try to represent space three-dimensionally and volumetrically, Duccio tries to focus his attention on the elegance of shapes and lines and on the harmony of colors.
