• Instructions: After watching the videos and articles linked below, answer the following questions in a single document (.docx, .pdf etc) and upload using the upload link.
    1) Cimabue and Giotto: Choose two elements to compare in the two works by Cimabue and Giotto that clearly show the transition to greater naturalism we see in the work by Giotto (i.e. what makes Giotto’s painting more natural looking?) Some of these elements can be treatment of space, arrangement of figures, color, use of architecture, depiction of Mary and Jesus, or choose your own.
    2) Both Florence (through Giotto) and Siena (through Duccio) contributed to the birth of the Renaissance in Italy. Compare and contrast two elements of Giotto’s Madonna Enthroned with Duccio’s Maestà. Conclude your comparison with an evaluation statement as to which one is more successful in achieving the greatest naturalism and give specific reason(s) for your choice.
    3) Simoni Martini, Annunciation.  Seriously? How much do we love this altarpiece? How does Martini use facial expression to convey Mary’s response to the message that she will give birth to the Son of God? Do you think this is a realistic response? Would you define this work as naturalistic or decorative, or both? Explain your answer with a description of specific details from the work.
    4) Lorenzetti, The Effects of Good and Bad Government. Where was this fresco cycle located in Siena and what was its overall message?
