Ognissanti Madonna
Artist: Giotto
 1310    Painting

 See Details

This Gothic altarpiece, painted for the Florentine Church of Ognissanti, had a profound impact on religious art. Older Byzantine styles were often two-dimensional and rigid. They didn’t make much of a connection to the viewer. Giotto di Bondone ushered in a form that was more human and less flat.

The “Ognissanti Madonna” by Giotto is at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
