The Golden Gospel of Duccio

Join us live 6th February or online afterwards

led by Dom Brendan Thomas

Duccio's glorious masterpiece, the Maestà, represents the supreme achievement of Sienese art. Its panels tell the story of the Christ's life on earth, its centrepiece a work of beauty for the devotion of the people. In Duccio's painting the art of the Byzantine icon meets the feeling and humanity of the Renaissance.

Join us for art, beauty and Scripture.
