The art is marvelous and more than that the history lures me. Its interesting to read that this art portrays the cave setting and glowing colors.

teendudes, Thank you so much for your comment. If you're interested, there's lots more on the Duccio Maesta at both the World Gallery of Art and Wikipedia. Great to see you. :-)
