Both time and location affect how an artist chose to impart the message of these altarpieces and what meanings those who viewed them may have gleaned.  Positioning of figures is one of the most obvious differences between the pair.  For example, angels in Giotto&#8217;s version are placed farther below the throne than in Cimbue&#8217;s, drawing more attention to the Madonna and implying greater importance.  Duccio&#8217;s Maesta provides another interpretation of the scene as its center panel.  The feet of various figures extend into the borders, almost implying that they are standing in our world.  This again draws people to the image and helps convey the importance of the Church in their lives.
