杜奇欧只画小幅板画和缩小画，因此他被遗忘在一个只赞美具有大型并纪念性画的国家里。

Duccio painted only frame pictures and, without doubt, miniatures, and hence the oblivion into which he fell in a country where monumental painting alone is glorified.

然而，除了他对于色彩和型式的完美感受，杜奇欧也善于从日常生活的描写中突显出希腊人的优雅。

However, apart from his perfect taste in colour and in style, Duccio excelled in the essentially Greek elegance of his portrayal of ordinary life.

不过一直要到1311年杜奇欧才完成他一生之中最主要的工作，那项工作的荣耀是要维持传统，在西恩纳主教堂为崇高的祭坛献上最棒的装饰屏风。

But it was in 1311 that Duccio achieved his principal work, the glory of which is destined to remain traditional, the great reredos for the high altar of the Siena cathedral.
