(John) Giotto and his works in Padua An Explanatory Notice of the Series of Woodcuts Executed for the Arundel Society After the Frescoes in the Arena Chapel Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Linda Cantoni, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Giotto and his Works in Padua" by John Ruskin is an art historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The text focuses on the works of Giotto, particularly as they relate to the frescoes in the Arena Chapel of Padua. Ruskin aims to elucidate not only the visual impact of Giotto's work but also his significance in the evolution of art and its connection to medieval spirituality. At the start of the publication, Ruskin makes it clear that he is not attempting a comprehensive biography of Giotto, but rather providing context and commentary on the series of woodcuts created for the Arundel Society that illustrate Giotto's frescoes. He discusses the background of the Arena Chapel’s construction by Enrico Scrovegno and its intended spiritual function, while introducing Giotto's innovative approach to representation in art during a transformative time in the early 14th century. The opening lays the groundwork for a deeper understanding of how Giotto's techniques differed from previous styles, pointing to the significance of precise form and emotional authenticity in his depictions.
