About Giotto.
Giotto was an Italian painter and architect from Florence during the Late Middle Ages. That time was the Renaissance period. He was making a decisive break with the prevalent Byzantine style and as initiating"the great art of painting as we know it today, introducing the technique of drawing accurately from life, which had been neglected for more than two hundred years."
From the piece of work The Lamentation. There are angels, people and Jesus laying on the ground. The background was the mountains and a dead wood. The emphasize things are the yellow color of the halos. It stands out Jesus laying on the ground and everyone were surrounding him. The angels were also looking at him. The strange thing is that the people on the back didn't have halos. Only the church person and the angels have halos.
