Description:
|
|
The signed Maestà was placed on the high altar of Siena Cathedral on 9 June 1311, accompanied by a triumphal procession. The gigantic altarpiece (originally ca. 5.00 x 4.68 m) was painted on both sides. The front was composed of eleven vertical planks and the back of five horizontal planks, with front and back nailed directly together. The two predellas, the first surviving narrative predellas, were each painted on a single horizontal plank. The pinnacles were probably painted on two horizontal planks, nailed together. In 1771 the two faces of the altarpiece were sawn apart and since then the panels have led a somewhat peripatetic existence. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
