Giotto di Bondone
c. 1267 CE–c. 1337 CE · Painter · Colle di Vespignano (Vicchio, Mugello)
Giotto di Bondone was an Italian painter and architect active in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, a central figure of the shift from Byzantine convention toward naturalistic depiction of figures, space, and emotion. His best-documented work is the fresco cycle of the Scrovegni (Arena) Chapel in Padua. He was associated with major commissions in Florence, Assisi, Rome, Naples, and Milan, and served the Angevin court of King Robert of Naples. In 1334 he was appointed master of works of Florence Cathedral, overseeing the campanile that bears his name. He died in Florence in January 1337 and was widely praised by later writers.
