	Biography
		The earliest work attributed to Giotto is a series of frescoes on the life of St Francis in the church at Assisi.
		The Peruzzi and Bardi chapels in the Church of Santa Croce are adorned by Giotto's frescoes.
		Giotto is regarded as the founder of the central tradition of Western painting because his work broke free from the stylizations of Byzantine art, introducing new ideals of naturalism and creating a convincing sense of pictorial space.

		Giotto's scenes break with rigid medieval stylization to present human figures in rounded sculptural forms that appear to have been based on living models rather than on idealized archetypes.
		The question of Giotto's authorship of the frescoes in the Upper Church at Assisi is an ongoing discussion among art historians.
		Giotto's example was crucial to the development of later Florentine painting, and his preoccupation with the realities of the human figure and the visible world became the dominant concerns of the Florentine Renaissance.

		Several panel paintings bear Giotto's signature, notably the Stefaneschi Altarpiece (Vatican), done for Cardinal Stefaneschi, who also commissioned the Navicella, but it is generally agreed that the signature is a trademark showing that the works came from Giotto's shop rather than an indication of his personal workmanship.

		With data obtained from that encounter, spacecraft Giotto was navigated to within 600 km of the nucleus and obtained our first direct images of a comet nucleus.
		Giotto's images showed the nucleus to be an irregular object, something like a potato, with dimensions 15 km long and up to 10 km wide.

	Giotto
		Giotto is a dual spin configuration spacecraft with the main spacecraft structure spinning, and carrying all the subsystem equipment and the experiments, and the large paraboloid reflector of the high-gain antenna, the beam of which is inclined 44.3° with respect to the spacecraft's spin axis, kept pointing towards Earth.
		The ionopause was crossed on the inward-bound leg of the journey by Giotto at a distance of 4650 kilometers (2,890 miles), and during the outward bound leg at a distance of 3,940 kilometers (2,450 miles) from the nucleus.
		Giotto's payload had been switched on during the evening of 9 July, with eight of the original complement of 11 experiments still operable: namely the magnetometer, Johnstone plasma analyzer, energetic-particle analyzer, optical-probe experiment, Reme plasma analyzer, dust impact detection system, ion mass-spectrometer, and the radio-science experiment.

	Giotto
		"Giotto's paintings, on the contrary, have not only as much power of appealing to the tactile imagination as is possessed by the objects represented human figures in particular but actually more; with the necessary result that to his contemporaries they conveyed a keener sense of reality, of life likeness than the objects themselves!
		There is not a genuine fragment of Giotto in existence but has these qualities, and to such a degree that the worst treatment has not been able to spoil them.

	ESA - Space Science - Giotto overview
		Giotto made the closest comet fly-by to date by any spacecraft (about 200 kilometres from Comet Grigg-Skjellerup) and studied the interaction between the solar wind, the interplanetary magnetic field, and the comet itself.
		The most difficult problem to overcome was how to ensure that Giotto survived long enough to snap its close-up pictures of the nucleus when the spacecraft and the comet were heading towards each other at a combined speed of 245 000 kilometres per hour (equivalent to crossing the Atlantic Ocean in 11 minutes!).
		Images were transmitted as Giotto closed in to within a distance of 1372 kilometres, but the rate of dust impacts rose sharply as the spacecraft passed through a jet of material that streamed away from the nucleus.

		Giotto di Bondone (Giotto son of Bondone), one of the greatest exponents in the History of Painting, of which he could be declared Father founder in modern times, was born at Colle di Vespignano, a village near Vicchio di Mugello and not far from Florence in Tuscany, in 1267.
		Giotto is the first artist whose thought and new vision of the world helped to launch, through an ideal relay, that movement, the Humanism, that offered liberation from the oppressive dogmatism of the Middle Ages, restoring to man a central place in the Universe and giving him a sense of mastery over his own destiny.
		In Florence,Giotto is appointed master-builder of the "Opera of St. Reparata" (The belfry of Giotto).

		Giotto was the king of the proto-renaissance, he was the man who invented modern painting.
		One aspect of Giotto's genius is, as we have already observed, his ability to suggest different types of people and even their conditions in life.
		An even greater contrast to the young Magus is afforded by the two shepherds in the preceding scene of The Nativity: their shifting gait, irregular hems, hunched-over shoulders, and the entire stance of these figures is at a far remove from the proud, elegant perfection of the young Magus.

		Giotto di Bondone, whom art historians designate the first painter of the Italian Renaissance, was apparently discovered while sketching sheep.
		Giotto brought the third dimension back into painting, infusing the flat, hieratic designs of Byzantine art with a softer, more modelled look that eschewed icons and emphasized the human figure.
		Giotto represents his figures from more than the traditional front and side angles; one sees the back of a head, a body hunched over, and figures embracing.

	Giotto Tarot Review
		Painted by Guido Zibordi Marchesi in the style of Giotto di Bendone, a 13th century Italian artist, Lo Scarabeo's Giotto Tarot is a hybrid blend of medieval art and contemporary perspective.
		The deck is the result of Zibordi's in-depth study of medieval iconography and artistic symbology in keeping with Giotto's style, but has a modern three-dimensional view and perspective that painted images of his time did not possess.
		Perhaps it is in keeping with the difficult life of the average person of Giotto's era, but the sheer number of disagreeable cards is hard to believe.

		At this Giotto took a sheet of paper and a brush dipped in red, closed his arm to his side, and with a twist of his hand drew such a perfect circle that it was a marvel to see.
		"Giotto's first paintings were done for the chapel of the high altar of the abbey of Florence...The panel painting over the high altar is also by Giotto, but this work has been kept there more from respect for anything by so great an artist than for any other reason." I-58
