Frederic Leighton completed this vast canvas imagining the procession celebrating Cimabue's Madonna through the streets of Florence. The composition recreates medieval Tuscany with the historical accuracy and classical grandeur that made Leighton famous.
This painting launched Leighton's career when Queen Victoria purchased it. It remains one of the largest Victorian history paintings. The work is at the National Gallery in London.
