Giotto, The Ognissanti Madonna
20, perhaps 30 years after Cimabue painted the large altar piece for Santa Trinita, Giotto, his student, paints the "Madonna" and child enthroned as well that we think came from tradition of Ognissanti in Florence.발음듣기
[DR. STEVEN ZUCKER] It's totally different from anything that we saw at the end of the 1200s.발음듣기
If you think about Cimabue, or even if you think about Duccio in Sienna, there's a kind of delicacy, a kind of elegance that those are figures that are almost paper thin.발음듣기
[DR. STEVEN ZUCKER] Light and shadow, the turn of her body that's created by the transition from highlights to shade.발음듣기
[DR. BETH HARRIS] Exactly, which we can see in her neck, around her breasts, pulling the drapery across toward the Christ Child.발음듣기
[DR. STEVEN ZUCKER] We see that in the Christ Child as well and even in the angels around her.발음듣기
If you look back at the Duccio, she turns her body so that her thighs are parallel to the picture plane.발음듣기
I mean, look, for example, at the specificness with which the artist places us, the viewer, in relationship to the architecture that he's portraying.발음듣기
And what I think is really remarkable is that the Old Testament prophets so that we saw in the Cimabue are now brought out of the basement, and they flank the Virgin Mary.발음듣기
And we can actually see their faces, at least two of them, framed in the wings of the throne itself.발음듣기
So it's as if Giotto is actually suggesting to us that a painting can be a kind of window that we can look into, that we can look through, and that a painting is a kind of frame in which we can enter with our eyes.발음듣기
Even within this very traditional composition, all of that use of gold, all of these things that are still medieval, Giotto is literally making room.발음듣기
This is a place that we know where there are solids, where there's gravity, where there is, in a sense, all of the physical forces that our bodies contend with.발음듣기
And we're able to inhabit this space in a much more direct way than in the previous paintings.발음듣기
[DR. STEVEN ZUCKER] That basic conflict will power the Renaissance for the next several hundred years.발음듣기
