El Giotto

Giotto de Bondone

1267 - 1337

Angels

Christ and more angels

Last Supper

The church, as the only market for art in the dark ages dominated the styles that were allowed according to strict church rules: Christ and Mary had to be larger than any other characters and painted full face for example.

That only changed when Giotto, Cimabue's pupil, started the Renaissance in painting in the late 13th century. He gave figures real postures and expressions and included an attempt at perspective in his paintings.
