Giotto and the Early Italian Renaissance
Italo-Byzantine art will be considered as background to the early or ‘proto’ Renaissance at a time when Italy was a focus of stylistic cross-currents from different parts of Europe.
The heritage of Rome and the influence of earlier traditions on artists like Cimabue, Duccio, Simone Martini and Giotto will be examined in the context of the ‘rebirth’ of the arts in Renaissance Italy.

Great presentation
Very interesting
I like the bullet points at the front of the video... just like an essay. Didn't Aldous Huxley say that oil painters would prefer to paint olive groves more than any other type of tree?

Yes, I remember reading something like that about him somewhere or other at sometime or other. Olive trees are knobby knotty and generally twisty things that are interesting to draw and paint. They resemble human beings in the confused contortions they tend to twist themselves curiously into.
