Rome: Giotto and the 14th Century, 6 March – 29 June 2009


Giotto, one of the most important innovators in art, is the protagonist of a splendid exhibition in Rome, at Vittoriano Museum.

The exhibition “Giotto and the 14th century”, which will take place in the eternal city from March the 6th to June the 29th, is an unmissable event for all art lovers and scholars, who will not miss the chance to book a hostel in Rome and visit an exhibition that is meant to deal not only with Giotto’s works and the influence that the artist had on his contemporaries and on subsequent art, but also with Italian art between the end of the 12th and the first half of the 14th century. As the title of the exhibition suggests, indeed, the exhibition is not only dedicated to Giotto, but more in general to the time when he lived, and it includes not only works realised by this great artist (about 20), but also those of other artists: painters (Cimabue, who was Giotto’s master, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti), sculptors (Arnolfo di Cambio, Giovanni Pisano, Giovanni di Balduccio), and goldsmiths (Guccio di Mannaia and Andrea Puvvi Sardi), totalling 150 works.

Giotto, who was born in Vespignano, in the province of Florence, moved to many Italian cities throughout his life, leaving an indelible trace in every place that he visited. The exhibition can be seen as a sort of reconstruction of Giotto’s travels in Italy, which can make us discover how the artist spread his artistic language in various Italian regions (Tuscany, Umbria, Marche, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, Lombardy, Lazio, Campania), and how his works influenced the painting schools of the cities he visited. This is a large and exhaustive exhibition, which features works coming from all over Italy and from all over the world to make the tourists who plan to visit Rome discover the innovative features of Giotto’s style, from three-dimensional representation of space to the return to naturalism and human figure.

The displayed works will include Giotto’s “Madonna with Child on a Throne and Two Angels”, “God the Father Enthroned”, “Christ blessing St John the Evangelist and the Virgin”, Cimabue’s “Virgin and Child”, Puppio Capanna’s “Crucifixion”, Taddeo Gaddi’s “Greggio Crib”, and some recently restored works which will be displayed for the first time after the restoration, like Giotto’s “Badia Polyptich”. Besides the works that will be displayed at the Vittoriano, which have already convinced many art lovers to book cheap hotels in Rome, the exhibition will also include some “virtual” works which, due to their frailty or to their big size (Giotto was not only a great painter, but also a great architect, and an evidence of that is given by Santa Maria del Fiore bell tower, in Florence) have not been taken to Rome, but which are necessary to present Giotto’s work in an exhaustive way. These works make up the interesting and innovative educational section “L’altro Giotto” (the other Giotto), which is meant to introduce visitors into the exhibition and into Giotto’s world and art.
