Wrote summa theologia. Scholasticism is the Greek writing of Aristotle which was very detailed, analytical themed, and deep in though with metaphors. (1267-73). Aristotle puts the important aspects of the bible rules combined and organizes it into a book

Dual nature of Christ. Physical and spiritual nature. He preaches the dual nature of Christ in the centers of urban life and argues that the best nature is physical nature because you are on a physical level with Christ

Writer of the Renaissance (1400's). Writes Lives (1550) a book about the greatest arts and architecture. Begins his Lives with Giotto

Apocrypha tells the life of Virgin Marry and Marianism celebrates Mary. Pieta shows the suffering and tells emotion.(ig. Jesus' dead body in his mothers arms is pieta)

This is in relative scale. It is a scene of mourners (a funeral in modern day) with individual emotions, no longer using a pattern book. Mathew is shown in this work :freaking out" over the death of Jesus. This work is not in the typical guilded background but has a blue sky and is on the earth not the heavens

This work has an asymmetrical focal point which gives a sense of familiarity as if the viewer were actually there over seeing. The notion of Trinity appears as an objectively inaccurate way. Grisaille is also shown, appears to be marble but isn't. Instead it is realistic painting which is a representation of mosaic and concrete work.

Enrique S makes Giotti paint this fresco because he was guilty of a crime, usiry-lending money and charging interest was considered a sin. Enrique is the patron and of the good side, heavenly side, Enrique is painted before God presenting the church to him.

The angels wings resemble dove wings which in the holy spirit. A deciduous tree is shown in the background and it appears dead but will come back to life in the spring. Which compares to Jesus' resurrection process. This refers back to Aristotle's writings.
