Documents show that giotto was in florence in 1311–14 and 1320, and it was probably during these years, before going to naples (c. 1329), that he painted frescoes in four chapels in santa croce belonging to the giugni, tosinghi spinelli, bardi, and peruzzi families.

Unique Exhibition Celebrates Giotto The Father Of Modern Italian Art Giotto is hailed as the father of the italian renaissance, and his name is used to brand colorful markers for emerging (child aged) artists to this day. he was fêted even in his lifetime. And in between the two periods, the medieval and the renaissance, came giotto di bondone (1267 1337). giotto was that rare artist who was appreciated, even famous, during his lifetime. he even merited a mention by his contemporary dante in the divine comedy. Well, that period of transition is called the proto renaissance. it defines the years roughly from 1300 to 1400 ce, when artists such as giotto introduced new artistic techniques, and philosophers emerged with thoughts on humanism. Often credited with being the ‘father of renaissance’, giotto di bondone, was the first ever artist to break away from the monotonous byzantine style of paintings and move forward with naturalism. he spent his entire career focusing on frescos and drawing from real life. Giotto was a florentine by birth and primarily worked in tuscany, but his fame led him to undertake commissions across italy, including in padua, rome, naples, and assisi. An artist who played a decisive role in the development of italian painting in his century and beyond (his works were studied and copied by masters of the stature of masaccio and michelangelo), giotto was probably born in florence c. 1265.
