RENAISSANCE ART AND ARCHITECTURE

GIOTTO:
Architect of Human Form
“At the beginning, there was Giotto”
Ernst Gombrich
When did the Renaissance begin?
Which Renaissance?
The literary Renaissance of Petrarca and Dante?
The Franciscan Renaissance in Christian theology?
The artistic Renaissance whose door Duccio knocked on and Giotto and the Lorenzettis broke through?
When did the Renaissance in Art begin?
In the Quattrocento?
Or in the Trecento?
In the trecento, we have Giotto.
Giotto depicted people;
People with purpose, not statically represented as icons;
People with emotions, with grief, or surprise, or sadness;
People interacting with people;
People walking around, trying to figure things out.
People trying to understand their place in the scheme of things .
“In Giotto’s works, human beings are the exclusive subject matter, and they act with dedicated passion their parts in the great Christian drama of sacrifice and redemption. By comparison, all his predecessors and most of his immediate successors painted a puppet show with lifeless mannequins tricked out in the rags of the splendid, hieratic, and impersonal art of Byzantium, which was to be entirely superseded by the urgent emotionalism of the Franciscan approach to Christianity.”
(Brittanica entry)
Indeed, Giotto was doing something quite transformative and visionary in the early trecento.

On My Bookshelf: The Cambridge Companion to Giotto (Cambridge Companions to the History of Art) 1st Edition by Anne Derbes, Mark Sandona
The Cambridge Companion to Giotto serves as an introduction to one of the most important masters of early Italian art. Providing an overview of his life and career, this volume offers essays by leading authorities on the critical reception of the artist, an analysis of workshop practices of the period, the complexities of religious and secular patronage, Giotto’s innovations in painting and architecture, and close readings of his most celebrated work; the frescoes of the Arena Chapel in Padua. Designed to serve as an essential resource for students of late medieval and early Renaissance Italy, The Cambridge Companion to Giotto also provides a chronology of the artist’s life and a select but comprehensive bibliography. Buona lettura!
