How did Giotto revolutionize painting technique?
I revolutionized painting by turning my gaze to the observable world. Instead of relying solely on established conventions, I studied how light falls on forms, how drapery hangs, and how people express joy, sorrow, or devotion. I learned to create a sense of depth and volume, making figures appear solid and alive, rather than flat icons. This focus on naturalism and emotional truth, conveyed through careful observation, was how I sought to imbue my work with greater impact.
