This book offers an analysis of Giotto's painted architecture. Benelli shows how Giotto's images of fictive buildings and well-known monuments play an important role in the narrative, iconography, and meaning of his works. Conventions established by Giotto remained at the heart of early modern Italian painting until the sixteenth century.
