Select your Registration $30 Member $40 Non-Member Resize text Madonna Enthroned (Ognissanti Madonna) by Giotto Giotto di Bondone revolutionized the field of Italian painting in the 14th century by breaking with the predominant Byzantine style and laying the foundation for European painting for centuries afterwards. His paintings are full of expressive character types, landscapes, vibrant colors, and complex visual arrangements. In fact, Giotto’s naturalistic treatment of religious subject matter might be defined as a sort of visual vernacular. Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero explores works such as the Ognissanti Madonna, the frescoes in Florence's Church of Santa Croce that depict St. Francis' life, and the extraordinary frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel that make Giotto one of history’s greatest painters.
