Giotto Research Paper
Giotto
Giotto, who was described by Boccaccacio as "the world's best painter" redesigned art with his rediscovery of the third dimension. His paintings gave a new birth to measurable space and the natural appearances of surfaces. Giotto, an Italian painter, lived from 1267-1337 and spent his life working on religious art and brought a third dimension to his figures. Previous art that was done in the Byzantine era was two-dimensional and the human shape was flat and done in traditional poses. Giotto gave birth to figures in a broad array of poses.
Giotto's art influenced Florentine art and sculpture. He painted such works of art as Scrovegni, Ognissanti Madonna and many others that are displayed in the most prominent churches
