The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 16: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book chronicles the life of Giotto, an influential painter, sculptor, and architect from the 13th and 14th centuries. The author positions Giotto as a significant figure whose work was foundational to the movement away from the rigid styles of earlier medieval art, and whose innovations helped establish a more naturalistic style. The author discusses Giotto's most famous works, including frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua and the Bardi Chapel in Florence. This book situates Giotto within an art-historical context, linking his work to both the Byzantine style from which it emerged and the Renaissance to which it contributed, and thoroughly examines how Giotto's work and techniques were informed by the philosophical and cultural shifts occurring during his lifetime.
