St. Francis Appears to St. Anthony in Arles 1325

Giotto's fresco, "St. Francis Appears to St. Anthony in Arles," depicts a pivotal moment in the life of St. Anthony, founder of the Franciscan order. Painted in 1325, this monumental work, located in the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, Italy, showcases Giotto's masterful use of space and perspective. The scene unfolds in a realistic, architectural setting, with the figures of St. Francis and St. Anthony positioned in the center, surrounded by attentive monks. Giotto's attention to detail and emotional expression, combined with the clarity of his composition, exemplified the transition from medieval art to the Renaissance.
