Document Summary
Pisano-3 dimensional and has a sense of being separated from flat background. Different from bizantine because the artist gives them a life like contemporary setting. Viewer is simultaneously looking down and straight on. Giotto di bondone-madonna enthroned-he is more rational and becomes more real. But he is keeping the hierarchy of size but the effect of the shading and the rationalizing is clear. He tries to make his images so that there is one thing that we are focusing on. Duccio di buoninsegna-things are coming down to the individual and if the individual is staying with tradition or thinking outside the box. Betrayal of jesus-uses rational landscape setting that we can understand in any day. He is meant to produce good and bad between governments. He is showing off an increase in linear perspective. First landscape in western art since roman landscapes.
