DUCIIATEL 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 char- acteristic 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, Ma- donna, and other subjects, belonging to the Queen of England ; a Madonna with Angels, Prophets, and Saints, National Gallery, Lon- don ; and the Preaching of St. John Bap- tist, and SS.
