EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful detail from Duccio di Buoninsegna's masterpiece, "Christ mocked (Cristo percosso)" which is part of the Maestà altarpiece. Painted between 1308 and 1311, this tempera on wood artwork showcases the artist's exceptional talent and his ability to evoke strong emotions. In this particular scene, we witness Jesus Christ being scorned and humiliated by his captors. The painting depicts the moment when he is subjected to violence and disgrace, with chains binding him as a prisoner. The aureole surrounding his head serves as a reminder of his divine nature amidst such cruelty. The golden background adds an ethereal quality to the composition, emphasizing the religious significance of this biblical scene. Duccio's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life, making it impossible not to feel moved by the profound suffering depicted in this artwork. Displayed at Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Siena, Italy, this trecento painting continues to inspire awe and contemplation centuries after its creation. It serves as a testament to both Duccio's skill as an Italian painter during the Middle Ages and his deep understanding of human emotion within religious contexts. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this iconic image through her lens, preserving its essence for all art enthusiasts to appreciate.
