I am not a huge art book reader, but I love Giotto’s work in Italy, so I picked this up in Assisi. It turned out to be a great choice in that it is easy to understand and follow and has fabulous pictures. It can at times get a bit tedious in details the reader cannot see without being in Italy, but it makes a very clear case for Giotto’s important contributions to art in the early 14th century. The emotion his figures express is what has always drawn me to him, and I did not realize how revolutionary this was for his time.
