# Entry into Jerusalem \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DUCCIO di Buoninsegna]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Tempera on wood ## Commentary The small tree, withered and leafless, that shows behind Christ's halo, is the fig-tree that Christ found without fruit. The depiction of the compact, polygonal marble building which dominates the silhouette of the city is probably based on historical or then contemporary central structures. It might be a recreation of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem or of baptismal churches, such as the Baptistery in Florence. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi \(scene 3\)]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() - [Agony in the Garden \(detail\)]() - [Agony in the Garden \(scene 6\)]() - [Announcement of Death to the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Announcement of Death to the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Announcement of Death to the Virgin \(panel 1\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(detail\)]() - [Annunciation \(scene 1\)]() - [Appearance Behind Locked Doors \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
