Description and Table of Contents

Description

The entire Arena Chapel fresco cycle, Giotto's most complete and best-conserved work, painted with uncompromising rigour, realism and inspired imagination. In this exquisite, magnificently illustrated volume, Claudio Bellinati's texts help the reader to discover the literal, poetic and artistic significance of every scene. The thrillingly elegant layout accompanies each fresco with the passage from the Gospels or Apocrypha to which it refers, and an iconographic reading. For the first time, we have a complete exegesis of Giotto's magnificent narrative in the Chapel of Sancta Maria De Harena.
