Synopsis
Excerpt from Giotto
This portrait of Giotto was painted in the first half of the fifteenth century by Paolo Uccello, a Florentine artist. It is a detail of a picture containing five heads, representing, besides Giotto, Uccello himself, Donatello, Brunelleschi, and Manetti. Vasari took the engraving for his biography of Giotto from this likeness, which was probably based upon some older portrait of the artist. He is here represented in a red cloak and head covering; and it would seem that Uccello's brush has somewhat flattered him, for we are told that he was "singularly ill-favored" in outward appearance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the genius of Giotto, an artist whose work was pivotal in the development of painting in Italy. Giotto lived in the 13th century, a time of great social and religious change, and his art reflected the new spirit of the age. He broke away from the rigid Byzantine style of painting that had dominated Italian art for centuries, and introduced a more naturalistic and lifelike approach. His figures are full of movement and emotion, and his compositions are carefully planned to create a sense of drama and realism. Giotto's work had a profound influence on the development of Western art. He is considered one of the fathers of the Renaissance, and his influence can be seen in the work of many later artists, including Michelangelo and Raphael. This book provides a detailed overview of Giotto's life and work, exploring the themes and ideas that inspired his art. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of art and the work of one of its greatest masters. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330623947_0
