DUCCIO DI BUONINSEGNA, born in
Siena about 1260, died after 1339. Sienese
school; the earliest great painter of Siena,
where he is first heard of in 1282. In 1285
he was in Florence, as records show that he
then contracted to paint an altarpiece of the
Madonna for S. M. Novella, probably never
executed, and in the autumn of that year at
Siena, where he was appointed to fill an
office, which he held until 1291. In 1301
he began a Majesty for the chapel of the
Public Palace of Siena, of which no record
remains, and seven years later commenced
for the Duomo the famous altarpiece by
which he is best known. In 1310 it was
carried by the rejoicing people in procession
through the streets to be installed in its
destined place. The panel, on one side of
which was painted the Virgin enthroned
