''Cimabue's Celebrated Madonna'', originally called ''Cimabue's () Madonna () Carried in Procession through the Streets of Florence'',〔The "Celebrated" and "is" come and go in sources. See Cast, David (ed), ''The Ashgate Research Companion to Giorgio Vasari'', 2014, Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., ISBN 147241392X, 9781472413925, (google books ); Barrington, Mrs Russell, ''The Life, Letters and Work of Frederic Leighton'' (Complete), Library of Alexandria, ISBN 146556120X, 9781465561206, (google books )〕 is an oil painting by English artist Frederic Leighton. Measuring more than two metres tall and more than five metres wide, the canvas was painted by Leighton from 1853 to 1855 in Rome as his first major work. Since 1988 it has been displayed in the National Gallery, London, on long-term loan from the Royal Collection. It is hung prominently, high above the main vestibule, directly beyond the entrance to the gallery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/visiting/virtualtour/#/stairs/?ath=-1.4214213562537779&atv=-9.510941552685685&fov=82.94949308652133 )〕 Leighton House has an oil sketch for the painting, and several preparatory drawings.〔(Public Catalogue Foundation/BBC "Your Paintings" website ); (webpage ), The Art Fund〕 ==Description== The picture shows a scene from the 16th century art historian Giorgio Vasari's description of the 13th century procession of an altarpiece of the Madonna and Child through the streets of Florence.〔 The Madonna is being carried from the studio of the Florentine artist Cimabue to the church of Santa Maria Novella. Cimabue himself is depicted immediately in front of the Madonna wearing a laurel wreath upon his head. He is followed by a group including several leading Florentine artistic figures of the day, including his pupil Giotto, the poet Dante Alighieri (leaning on the wall at right), the architect Arnolfo di Cambio, the painters Gaddo Gaddi, Andrea Tafi, Buonamico Buffalmacco and Simone Memmi; the sculptor Nicola Pisano, and on horseback at the right edge of the image, the King of Naples, Charles of Anjou.〔 The Madonna depicted, seen at a very narrow angle in the centre of the painting, is actually not by Cimabue, but instead it is the ''Rucellai Madonna'' by Sienese artist Duccio di Buoninsegna. This error is the result of the misattribution of this altarpiece by Vasari which lasted into Leighton's time, an error which was not corrected until 1889 by Franz Wickhoff. Both the ''Rucellai Madonna'' and a similar work that is correctly attributed to Cimabue, the ''Santa Trinita Maestà'', are displayed at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
