Tracing the life of the greatest artist of the Middle Ages, the book offers a complete reading of the entire cycle of frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel, taking us on a journey into Giotto's magical world where divine, man and nature come together. It is an opportunity to discover the presence of a secret nude, to approach new representations of space, volumes, feelings and attitudes, to be surprised by the truthfulness of the depiction of herbs and flowers, to admire the detailed anatomical description of the human body, and finally to define the artist's desire to unite the other two great arts, sculpture and architecture, through painting. A set of choices that no artist before Giotto had ever dared to make.
