Abstract
The article focuses on some iconografic invention created by Giotto in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua. In particular, the autor proposes tho hypotheses wich differ from what has been hithersto suggested. The first concern the model of the church offered by the client Enrico Scrovegni. Through a series of visual examples, the article demonstratesw that Giotto reproposes the iconographic convention already invented by Roman mosaicists during early Middle Ages, but this image is renewed, according to a rendition of the vision of the elevations which posits it as a sort of ante litteram axonometry. The second proposal is centred on the figure of the animula holding the Cross in the scene of the Last Judgment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
