Cimabue

Maesta de Pise by Cimabue. Before Giotto, before Duccio, before the great flowering of Italian sacred painting, there was Cimabue — and at the heart of his achievement stands this extraordinary image of the enthroned Virgin and Child, painted for the church of San Francesco in Pisa around 1268 to 1271. The Maestà de Pise is one of the oldest and most venerable icons of Marian devotion in the Western tradition, a painting that seems to hold within it the entire weight of the Church’s love for the Mother of God. For a Catholic home, there is something deeply right about living with this image: it does not merely decorate a wall, it consecrates the space around it.
