1. What kind of stories does Giotto depict? 2. How does Giotto paint people differently than past gothic art? 3.How would you describe Giotto's style?
The Giotto is separated into different registers from the top to the bottom, each telling a different story. The stories are as follows [and as seen in the image below]: The story of Jesus Christ's grandparents (Anna and Joachim), the story of Mary and her marriage and conception of Jesus, the Life of Christ (Ministry), and the End of Christ's life and what happens after his death (Passion). The Giotto contains walls of frescos who's style has good usage of spaces throughout the church. The earlier gothic art was more delicate, ideal, and ornamented than Giotto's style of art and the drawings of people. This can be especially seen as Mary is much more solid and monumental rather than delicate or feminine. Giotto's style is much more human and earthy rather than gilded or overdramatic. It is also interesting because it seems to be much more fitted and geometric.
