DUCCIO di Buoninsegna
(b. ca. 1255, Siena, d. 1319, Siena)

Triptych

1311-18
Tempera on wood
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

This triptych is closely related to the triptych now in the National Gallery, London. The study of the carpentríy of the two woeks showed that their dimensions and structure, as well as the tooling of the gold, are identical, proving that they were designed and produced contemporaneously in the same workshop.

The present triptych has the the Crucifixiion in the centre (61 x 39 cm), St Nicholas and a papal saint in the wings (45 x 20 cm each), and a Blessing Redeemer between two angels in the gable. The papal saint in the right wing may be St Gregory or St Clement.
