Duccio di Buoninsegna (c. 1255 - 1260 , Siena – c. 1318 - 1319 , Siena) was one of the most influential Sienese Artists of his time. He worked mostly with pigment and egg tempera and like most of his contemporaries he painted religious subject matters. He has influenced Simone Martini and the brothers Ambrogio and Pietro Lorenzetti , among others.

His works include the ''Rucellai Madonna'' (1285) for Santa Maria Novella (now in the Uffizi ) and the fabled '' Maestà '' (1308-11), his masterpiece, for Siena's cathedral. The centre of the Maesta depicts the Virgin and Child enthroned and surrounded by angels and saints.

The ''Stoclet Madonna'', (Stoclet for its previous ownership by stoclet in his collection in Brussels) painted on a wooden panel around the year
