# Appearance Behind Locked Doors \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DUCCIO di Buoninsegna]() - Date: 1301-1350 - Technique: Tempera on wood ## Commentary Fearing for their lives, the disciples have fled into a house and keep the doors locked. Christ appears to them outside a barred and bolted wooden door, in front of which a beam has also been fixed for extra security. The figure of the resurrected Christ, who dominates the centre of the picture, is perfectly framed by the door reveal and the arch above the door. The distinction between the presence of the disciples and Christ is again made clear by Duccio's different treatment of the various garments. ## 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]()
