Giotto di Bondone was an all around well respectable connoisseur when it came to his work of art. Moreover, his art was very religious-oriented, to say the least.

Before Giotto, painting closely resembled the schematic and archaic Byzantine style. The figures were often stiff, two-dimensional, and did not evoke emotion from the viewer. Giotto’s style diverged greatly from the tenants of the Byzantine era and influenced generations of artists who followed him. His approach brought a level of humanism, vitality, and emotion to the subjects of his painting and would greatly influence the Renaissance era. In straying from the Byzantine style, Giotto's techniques
Giotto di Bondone is taken into consideration one of the amazing artists of the Renaissance. His paintings reflect numerous of the Renaissance values. Giotto used Classicism, Realism, and Individualism. Classicism shows emphasis on form, simplicity, share, and reticence. Its ideas come from mythology and ancient Greece. Realism is visible in art without idealization. It uses perspective, shadows, proportional our bodies, and information to show items as they certainly are. Individualism is the concept

The High Renaissance was the culmination of the artistic revolution of the Early Renaissance, and one of the great explosions of creative genius in history.(1). During the Renaissance there were many drastic changes in the style of art. Giotto was a very influential painter, during the start of the Renaissance. In Giotto's work he used three dimensional images; this was a drastic change from the classic art where depth was not used. His paintings were very realistic and life like, unlike the previous
were great innovators in all these fields, whose work marked a beginning of a new era in the history of art. These innovators included Masaccio in painting, It was Masaccio (1401-28) who, in his brief and amazing career, was the real successor of Giotto and revolutionized Florentine painting. He too gave his figures a grave and noble dignity. His frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence did much to determine the course of painting from that time on. There
criticized artists and scholars as they saw them as non-equals. Most Italian artists and sculptors modeled what the ancient Romans did in the way of art, and literature.

In the 15th century, a man by the name of Filippo Brunelleschi had turned his idea of art into architecture. New buildings and Cathedrals were being built in Florence, and Brunelleschi’s amazing sense of contrast of light, classical

Description In this fresco by Giotto di Bondone, we see so much more than the typical nativity portrayed by the churches of today. In my opinion, this depiction is much more dramatic, and something that might be seen inside of the church in the form of a theatrical play. Joseph seems to rest in meditation, or is waking up as he sits amongst the animals, an ox, a donkey and a flock of sheep. We see angels swooning above a woman, as she hands the Christ child over to the Virgin Mary, and two shepherds

Representing two rival city states at the time, Florence and Siena, their works were frequently put side by side to compare by art historians.

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

Giotto Bizzarrini and the Bizzarrini BZ2001 When you’re to look upon the Bizzarrini BZ-2001, you’d see that there are no bounds to the imagination of Italian car stylists. The BZ-2001 is the work of Giotto Bizzarrini whose portfolio includes many past exotic cars. Right now, the BZ-2001 rides on the tubular chassis of a Ferrari Testarossa, and is powered by the Ferrari’s 380-horsepower flat-12-cylinder engine. But true to past Bizzarrini designs, plans are afoot to switch to American small-block
