Cimabue - Maestà (c. 1280)


One of the most solemn altarpieces ever made. Cimabue is the pivot of the Siena School, which takes Byzantine painting giving greater body and depth, creating spaces that seemed impossible in the past.
We are preparing the way for the outbreak of the Renaissance. Cimabue will teach Giotto, who will write the Grammar of Art. Italy is ready to become the leader of the expression.
