Was Giotto's work always naturalistic?
While my goal was naturalism, it's important to understand that my work was still within the context of its time and purpose. I depicted spiritual narratives, and the aim was to make those stories accessible and emotionally resonant. Therefore, the 'naturalism' I pursued served the narrative and the spiritual message. The focus was on making the figures and their actions feel real and understandable to the common person, not on replicating every minute detail of the physical world for its own sake.
