Description:
|
The large stained glass rose window (after the designs of Duccio di Buoninsegna) was made to fill the round oculus opening above the Siena Cathedral's chancel between 1287 and 1290, and has now been installed at the end of a ground floor room of the cathedral museum. The window contains three stories from the life of the Virgin, the Burial, the Assumption and the Coronation, in its three superimposed central registers, while on either side of the central panel are depictions of Siena's four patron saints, St. Bartholomew, St. Ansanus, St. Crescentius and St. Sabinus.
