Duccio di Buoninsegna, a central figure of the Sienese School, executed this commission between 1308 and 1311. The scene depicts the Flagellation of Christ, a subject common in medieval devotional art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuccio employs a characteristic Sienese approach to form and colour. The central figure of Christ is bound to a column, his body rendered with a focus on anatomical clarity that was advanced for the period. The surrounding figures, representing the tormentors, display varied expressions and postures, contributing to the narrative tension of the scene. The background is a flat, uniform tone, typical of the period's preference for symbolic space over realistic perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of tempera allows for precise detail, particularly in the rendering of the drapery and the subtle modelling of the figures. The gold leaf, though partially visible in the halo, provides a luminous quality that separates the sacred subject from the earthly realm. This fragment demonstrates the artist's ability to convey emotional weight through gesture and facial expression, maintaining a balance between decorative grace and narrative clarity. The composition is structured to draw the eye toward the central figure, while the surrounding actors provide a sense of movement and interaction. This work remains a primary example of the transition from Byzantine stylistic conventions toward the more humanistic approach that would define later Italian painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/the-last-judgment-the-damned-consigned-to-hell-fra-angelico\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Last Judgment (The Damned Consigned to Hell) - Fra Angelico — Fra Angelico\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/st-francis-giving-his-mantle-to-a-poor-man-giotto-di-bondone\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSt. Francis Giving his Mantle to a Poor Man - Giotto di Bondone — Giotto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Duccio di Buoninsegna","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58728956625231,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58728973140303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58728973173071,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58728973205839,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58728973238607,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58728973271375,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58728973304143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58728973336911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58728973369679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58728973402447,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58728973435215,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58728973467983,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Flagellation-of-Christ-Fragment-_Poster_CompositorV1_1788977289633.jpg?v=1788978149","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/flagellation-of-christ-fragment-duccio-di-buoninsegna","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
