Giotto (1x4)

Air date: Apr 18, 2011

Giotto's painting was the expression of a world evolving towards new horizons. A new confidence in mankind, the awareness of playing an active role in his own time, having a moral and material place in the world all these features, typical of the Italian Renaissance, can be traced in his work. Focused on emotions, people and lives, Giotto s frescos make a decisive break with the abstract and affected mysticism of Byzantine art and depict his own times, starting one of the most sensational revolutions in the history of art.
