Jesus before Annas (scene 8)
by DUCCIO di Buoninsegna, Tempera on wood, 50 x 54 cm
The picture shows one of the 26 narrative scenes from the Stories of the Passion on the reverse side of the Maestà. It is situated in the bottom row on the right side of the main section above the scene of Peter First Denying Jesus.
Duccio uses the architectural forms of the room to divide up the crowd of figures and establish focal points of interest.
