"The Virgin and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Six Angels" is a notable work of art by the Italian painter and mosaicist Giovanni Cimabue, also known as Cenni di Pepo. Created in the late 13th century, this tempera and gold leaf painting on a wooden panel is an exemplar of the transition from Byzantine to early Italian Renaissance art. Cimabue, who is often credited with pioneering this shift, infused his work with a greater sense of naturalism and volume than was typical of the more stylized Byzantine tradition.

The painting depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned, holding the Christ Child, with six angels symmetrically arranged around them. The Virgin is portrayed as the Queen of Heaven, a common theme in medieval Christian iconography. The composition's hierarchical scale emphasizes the importance of the central figures, with Mary and Jesus rendered larger than the surrounding angels. The use of gold leaf highlights the divine nature of the scene and adds a sense of depth through the play of light.

Cimabue's work is characterized by its delicate linearity and the subtle modeling of faces and drapery, which suggest a three-dimensional form. The angels are depicted with a sense of individuality and grace, marking a departure from the more rigid and frontal figures of Byzantine predecessors. The painting's background, typically gold in Cimabue's time, serves to elevate the figures from the earthly realm to a celestial one.

This masterpiece is considered one of Cimabue's most important works and is often cited for its influence on later artists, including Giotto, who is thought to have been his pupil. "The Virgin and Child in Majesty Surrounded by Six Angels" not only showcases Cimabue's mastery of the medium but also encapsulates a pivotal moment in the history of Western art, where the medieval gives way to the renaissance of classical forms and perspectives. The painting is a testament to the enduring legacy of Cimabue and his role in shaping the course of European art.
