with Saints, Bishops, and Angels, and on the other the Passion in twenty-eight subjects, was afterwards divided, and the parts hung one at each end of the transept. Preserving traditional types, Duccio gave the Madonna the hitherto unknown and afterwards characteristic grace of Sienese Madonnas, and treated attitudes, draperies, and proportions with a then novel approach to correctness. The scenes from the Passion show the same clinging to past forms, the same effort to follow nature, and convey a like impression of life and power imperfectly realized. The few other works of this remarkable painter are two pictures of the Madonna with Saints in the Siena Academy; a Crucifixion, Madonna, and other subjects, belonging to the Queen of England; a Madonna with Angels, Prophets, and Saints, National Gallery, London; and the Preaching of St. John Baptist, and SS. Peter and Paul, Rambona Collection, Cologne.—C. & C., Italy, i. 40; Vasari, ed. Mil., i. 653; Burckhardt, 491; Dohme, 2i.; Sienesische Malerschule; L'Art (1878), iii. 151; Lübke, Gesch. ital.
