Duccio di Buoningegna
(approx. 1255-1319)

Duccio di Buoninsegna was an Italian painter, a precursor of the Renaissance style, who brought to perfection the art of medieval Italy in the Byzantine tradition.

Born in Siena, Duccio was the founder of the Sienese school of painting. His work, all of it religious, is characterized by sensitive drawing, skillful composition, a decorative quality akin to that of mosaic, and a more intense emotional tone than that of the Byzantine models he followed. Duccio's most famous and only signed work is the Maestà (1308-1311), a huge altarpiece painted on both sides, made for the cathedral of Siena; now most of it is displayed in the cathedral's museum.

Ο Χριστός στις Τέχνες
Το Πρόσωπο του Χριστού

Scenes from the Life of Christ
Nativity, fresco,
Arena Chapel at Padua, Italy.

Giotto
(1267-1337)

Giotto is considered to have been the most important Italian painter of the 14th century. His conception of the human figure in broad, rounded terms—rather than in the flat, two-dimensional terms of Gothic and Byzantine styles indicated a concern for naturalism that was a milestone in the development of Western art.

He was born Giotto di Bondone in Colle di Vespignano, near Florence. Details of his early life are scarce, but he probably served an apprenticeship in Florence before embarking on a career that took him to Rome, Padua, Arezzo, Rimini, Assisi, and Naples.
