The Paintings of Giotto

Giotto is perhaps the most important figure in early Italian art, whose innovations in storytelling and form were rooted in their own period, yet at the same time helped to make possible the emergence of the ‘Renaissance’ one hundred years later. This short course will place Giotto’s work back into its social, historical and art-historical contexts, with a particular focus on the Arena Chapel cycle, one of the great monuments of late medieval Italian culture.
