Let it be said, by me, that Giotto is STILL the MAN...
In his "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects," Giorgio Vasari described Giotto as making a decisive break with the prevalent Byzantine style and as initiating "the great art of painting as we know it today, introducing the technique of drawing accurately from life, which had been neglected for more than two hundred years."
Giotto's masterwork is the decoration of the รงรงl, in Padua, also known as the Arena Chapel, which was completed around 1305. The fresco cycle depicts the "Life of the Virgin" and the "Life of Christ." It is regarded as one of the supreme masterpieces of the Early Renaissance.
