than two hundred years." The later 16th century biographer Giorgio Vasari says of him. Most importantly, Giotto was recognized as “being a revolutionary who evolved the earlier and flat Byzantine-style (Byzantine-style) into three dimensional realism. (Finnan, Vincent)” His three dimensional techniques are widely used in many of his works. For example, the lamentation, and Kiss of Judas. Giotto creates a highly emotional story with the combination of dimensional layout and iconography in the lamentation

Compared with Cimabue's 'Enthroned Madonna', Giotto reveals a new emphasis on three-dimensional form. This is portrayed both in the positioning of the throne and in the use of chiaroscuro. Giotto’s throne, in contrast to Cimabue's seems to be monarchical. Throughout the painting there is an inter play of weight, pose and gesture that affects the physical materiality of the drapery in a new way. In other ways, this is a much more naturalistic painting than

History is a vast ocean of time and regions, yet some are seen as more influential than others.The Renaissance can be described as an era in which science and culture mixed, therefore creating waves of innovation that rippled throughout the entire planet. In the 14th century, Rome had long fallen, and centuries of Christianity had taken Europe. Crusades were led across vast regions, as well traders traveling to the east and discovering new goods to sell and trade.This began exploration into other

     This paper will compare the themes found in the paintings “Madonna and Child with St. John the Baptist and an Angel” by Domenico di Bartolomeo Ubaldini (Puligo) and “Madonna Enthroned” by Giotto. Both paintings deal with fables from the Christian faith but were executed during different periods in art. The Giotto painting was created around 1310 and the Puglio painting was executed between 1518 – 1520. Here, these two paintings have similar themes both at the extreme beginnings and endings of the

to many famous Renaissance artists that we know about including Michelangelo. Giotto’s Early work is seen in the freshness of the upper church of San Francisco in Assisi. It is possible that he worked on the upper church with his teacher Cimabue. Giotto took the expertise of his teacher and refined it into more naturalistic degree. This can be seen in Cimabue’s Madonna Enthroned with Angels and Prophets and Giotto’s Madonna Enthroned. Giotto’s version had figures more rendered and there is a refining

famous work of art is the Maesta Altarpiece located in the Cathedral of Siena. At that time, Siena was very competitive with Florence. The greatest Florentine painter was Giotto di Bondone. He was a couple years younger than Duccio. Giotto’s crowning achievement is a series of fresco murals painted in the Arena Chapel. Duccio and Giotto were two astonishing artists. Duccio’s Maesta and Giotto’s fresco painting in the Arena Chapel both tell us a narrative story of the life of The Virgin Mary and Christ

Some call accidents mistakes; others call them luck. But, no matter the accident, something is learned. Think of Dr. Alexander Fleming and his accidental discovery of penicillin in 1928 (Krock). If he would have discarded his old petri dishes without looking, this antibiotic may not have been discovered. That is evidence that any day could bring surprise, and, with understanding, people gain experience through mistakes. The speaker in “A Green Crab’s Shell” by Mark Doty has a similar unexpected discovery
