Duccio at the National Gallery in Britain, I've gotten to see and kind of physically experience a cool painting. The surface, cracks and textures. It's behind. Kind of like meeting a person you're friends with on Facebook. It's jarring and wonderful at the same time.
Duccio really understood the Byzantine or Greek style and somehow transitioned to the early Renaissance. Sort of like the Fugee's cover of "Killing me Softly."
