Duccio, Maesta (back)발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The back of the Maesta is astonishing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's every bit as large as the front, but has many, many more panels.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But, Duccio isn't conceiving of each one entirely separately.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He's thinking about how to unify all of these scenes together and make them really legible for a viewer.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

A great example of that is if you look at the three central scenes.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

At the bottom, you have Christ in the garden.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He's asking his Apostles to remain awake while he has a private meditation with God.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But after the Apostles left, we see them a second time, this time fast asleep, not having heeded his request at all.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I do want to make note of the three central trees in that image.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Those trees are echoed in the image just above, which is the arrest of Christ.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is the betrayal, and you can see Judas, who has already been paid pieces of silver by the Roman authorities to identify Christ with a kiss.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You see Christ being abandoned by his followers, or most of them, who flee.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But, Peter comes to his rescue, and on the left side you can see Peter actually taking out his knife and slicing off the ear of one of the soldiers.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, we have a continuous narrative in both of those panels.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

We do, especially since we see those trees sort of a second time.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And, they are echoed in both scenes.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But, what's most interesting, I think, is if you go one more step up, you see a double height scene, and this is the Crucifixion.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now, of course, the Crucifixion is incredibly important, and so, is given much more room.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But, those three trees, now, have become three crosses.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, Duccio's thinking about ways that he can visually bring the scenes together, uniting formal elements between the panels.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Let's take a look at the first double panel.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You might think about it the way that an illuminated manuscript will sometimes have a large opening capital letter.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It gives us the idea of where to begin. That's right.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is the entry of Christ into Jerusalem, and we see Christ entering rather humbly into the gates of Jerusalem.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And we can identify Christ because he's larger than the other figures and there's a halo.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

He's riding in on a donkey.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

All the elements that are delineated in the Gospels are here.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You have people in the trees, you have people laying down cloth before him and can see his Apostles following behind him, and the people of the city literally pouring out of the gates.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

In order to give us a sense of a real crowd coming to see Christ, you'll notice that there's actually a reverse perspective because the figures in the back are larger than the figures in the foreground and also higher, which would not be the case in correct perspective.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But, Duccio's given this wonderful impression of a real crowd of people present to see Christ and his followers entering Jerusalem.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

There does seem to be a love of architecture and the rendering of architecture, almost for its own sake.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And look at those beautiful lancet windows.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And it's this interesting combination of architecture and a space for the figures to occupy, but then, also this gold background that indicates the heavenly and the spiritual.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, this mixture of both.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You mention the gold background, and as you look across not just this panel, but all of the panels on the back of the Maesta, not to mention the panels on front of the Maesta, there is just an enormous amount of gold.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It is literally a treasure, and one can only imagine what it would've looked like in the stark white and black marble space of the Cathedral.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Unfortunately, this painting was taken off of the altar and was ultimately, in the 18th century, cut up for private purchase.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This was a moment when the so-called Italian primitives became sought after by some collectors.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

The result is we don't have all of the paintings in Siena, but many of them are scattered in museums around the world.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

There is one panel, for example, at the Frick Collection, and it would be lovely to understand these paintings in one place.발음듣기
