Program Description

Event Details

At the end of the 13th century, the brilliant panel paintings of Duccio (Siena) and Giotto (Florence) began a revolution in art, displaying a greater realism than had been found in Byzantine art. Many of the paintings show an elegance and delicacy of line, an interest in pictorial story-telling, and a heightened, often passionate, expression of spirituality.
