	Giotto di Bondone
		In 1306, Giotto was called to Padua to paint the Capella dell' Arena, built by Enrico Scrovegni in expiation of the crimes of his father, the famous usurer Reginaldo.
		Giotto, indeed, continued to use the earlier conceptions, but could not fail to imbue with his own wonderful realism the traditional treatment of these sacred scenes.
		Simone di Martino is the true author of the admirable frescoes in the papal palace at Avignon.

	Giotto di Bondone
		Giotto would give no other sample of his talent than an "O" drawn with a free sweep of the brush from the elbow; but the pope was satisfied and engaged him at a great salary to go and adorn with frescoes the papal residence at Avignon.
		Benedict, however, dying at this time (1305), nothing came of this commission; and the remains of Italian 14th-century frescoes still to be seen at Avignon are now recognized as the work, not, as was long supposed, of Giotto, but of the Sienese Simone Martini and his school.
		The art of painting, as re-created by Giotto, was carried on throughout Italy by his pupils and successors with little change or development for nearly a hundred years, until a new impulse was given to art by the combined influences of naturalism and classicism in the hands of men like Donatello and Masaccio.

	Giotto di Bondone
		Giotto was the most important Italian painter of the 14th century, whose conception of the human figure in broad, rounded terms -- rather than in the flat, two-dimensional terms of Gothic and Byzantine styles -- indicated a concern for naturalism that was a milestone in the development of Western art.
		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.
		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.

	Biography
		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.
		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.

	Giotto di Bondone
		Giotto di Bondone, the father of modern painting and one of the greatest figures in the history of Western art, was born in a small hamlet in the valley of the Mugello, twenty miles north of Florence.
		Giotto was concerned with the problem of presenting human figures and their actions realistically on a flat surface that was to represent three-dimensional space.
		Giotto studied both nature and the human body which he saw as invested with great dignity, deep emotions, and humanity, and he placed his human figures in free, albeit shallow, space.

		"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!

	Giotto (Ambrogio Bondone - 1267-1337)
		Giotto has become the symbol of a profound renewal in the history of Western figurative arts, and of the first radical renewal since ancient Greece.
		In un'epoca in cui l'eccezionale espansione economica italiana fa di ogni centro cittadino una civiltà con caratteri propri e una potenziale "scuola" artistica, Giotto si colloca in una posizione super-regionale, che rappresenta un punto di riferimento per tutti.
		L'idea di ricostruire illusionisticamente su una superficie a due dimensioni un spazio tridimensionale significa rendere alla realtà che si controlla con i propri sensi il valore che aveva perduto.

		The subject is the mourning over the dead body of Christ, with the Virgin embracing her Son for the last time.
		Compare the conventional gesture of the mourning St John in the miniature with the passionate movement of St John in Giotto's painting as he bends forward, his arms extended sideways.
		If we try here to imagine the distance between the cowering figures in the foreground and St John, we immediately feel that there is air and space between them, and that they can all move.

		Su concepción de la figura humana, que representó con líneas amplias y redondeadas -en lugar de la representación plana y bidimensional de los estilos gótico y bizantino- indica una preocupación por el naturalismo que significó un punto de inflexión en la evolución de la pintura occidental.
		Giotto di Bondone nació en Colle di Vespignano, cerca de Florencia.
		Habría de ser Masaccio, un siglo después, quien difundiera el estilo de Giotto, cuyo ejemplo fue crucial para el desarrollo de la pintura florentina posterior, y cuyo interés por la representación de la figura humana y del mundo visible se convirtió en una preocupación predominante durante el renacimiento florentino.
