Angels Viewing the Art of Giotto di Bondone

[c1304 – 1306] by Giotto di Bondone, fresco at the Scrovegni Chapel – Padua, Italy, (H) 200cm x (W) 185cm

Today in the month of December 2018 I’d like to share with you ‘Number 36, Scenes from the Life of Christ: Number 20, Lamentation – The Mourning of Christ’ [c1304 – 1306] by Giotto di Bondone.

Today I found one of the inspirations for Vincent Van Gogh.

“In his own time, people wrote of Giotto ‘first he put “goodness” into the expression of human heads’.” – words by Van Gogh quoting Vasari, from the book by Jules Michelet ‘L’amour’, [produced 1859] page 381.
