Giotto – The Scrovegni Chapel | Limited Edition
Giotto, the Scrovegni Chapel
The unprecedented Scripta Maneant photographic campaign allows the reader a multi-sensory immersion in Giotto’s absolute masterpiece, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2021. In Padua, Giotto proclaimed himself an innovator in the representation of space, ahead of Renaissance achievements, and of human physicality and emotionality. In the Stories of the Life of the Virgin and Christ, human joys and sorrows emerge with intensity, of which the tender kiss of Joachim and Anne in The Meeting at the Golden Gate and the despair of the weeping mothers in The Massacre of the Innocents are significant and famous examples. The 1:1 scale shots and textual apparatuses of the greatest scholars of the fresco cycle guide the reader through the discovery of one of the most significant artistic works of our heritage.
