Giotto
Giotto was an Italian painter and architect from Florence during the late Middle Ages. He worked during the Gothic or Proto-Renaissance period. The painting that I viewed had a weird form of perspective. The angels at the top particularly stood out for me. Some were pointed almost completely down. I’ve never seen that angle used in anything before. Some were also pointed up. I have seen something like that before. One person also had his arms completely spread out which seemed strange to me. I can’t figure out why.

The fact that you talk about the angles of the figures in the painting show a hidden sophistication behind you Josh.
ReplyDeleteYou're blog is really nice! I like your description and interpretation of the piece but I wish you included a photo of it or the title.
ReplyDeletei like that you added your personal speculations and observations to this post rather than just taking info off wikipedia. nice work!
ReplyDeleteI like that you had your own honest interpretation of the work! Wish that there was a picture of it, however.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your honesty in your writing, especially the part about the guy with his arms stretched out. It made me laugh.
