| Lamentation c.1305 by Giotto |
The painting piece above is one of Giotto's masterpieces named
Lamentation Giotto painted for the Scrovegni Chapel, describing a emotional story of the lamentation of Christ. It's a fresco painting that involves Byzantines style; the figure of Christ seems to be the focal point for the entire piece, and the facial expression of every figure highly increases the emotional impact. What adds to the emotional effect would be the angels that flying above the dying Christ: their body movements are very dramatic.
