In this book, Henrike Lange takes the reader on a tour through one
of the most beloved and celebrated monuments in the world -
Giotto's Arena Chapel. Paying close attention to previously
overlooked details, Lange offers an entirely new reading of the
stunning frescoes in their spatial configuration. The author also
asks fundamental questions that define the chapel's place in
Western art history. Why did Giotto choose an ancient Roman
architectural frame for his vision of Salvation? What is the role
of painted reliefs in the representation of personal integrity,
passion, and the human struggle between pride and humility familiar
from Dante's Divine Comedy? How can a new interpretation regarding
the influence of ancient reliefs and architecture inform the famous
"Assisi controversy" and cast new light on the debate around
Giotto's authorship of the Saint Francis cycle? Illustrated with
almost 200 color plates, this volume invites scholars and students
to rediscover a key monument of art and architecture history and to
see it with new eyes.
