Niue 2012 Passion of Christ Maesta of Duccio di Buoninsegna 15oz Silver Coin Set. 33.33g each (466.55g or 15oz total). 96 x 310 mm total. The Maestà, or Maestà of Duccio is an altarpiece composed of many individual paintings commissioned by the city of Siena in 1308 from the artist Duccio di Buoninsegna. The front panels make up a large enthroned Madonna and Child with saints and angels, and a predella of the Childhood of Christ with prophets. The reverse has the rest of a combined cycle of the Life of the Virgin and Life of Christ in a total of forty-three small scenes; several panels are now dispersed or lost. Though it took a generation for its effect truly to be felt, Duccio’s Maestà set Italian painting on a course leading away from the hieratic representations of Byzantine art towards more direct presentations of reality. Very low mintage – limited to only 250 coin sets. Comes with capsule, certificate of authenticity and a special presentation case. We strive for excellent service.
