The Madonna by Cimabue and Giotto



Madonna by Cimabue 1285. 



Madonna Enthroned by Giotto (Cimabue's Student), 1310. 

Demonstrates the transition from the icon art of the middle ages to the art of the Renaissance. The latter is far more solid and earthly compared to the otherworldly and flat Italio-Byzantine iconic style that was copied by the guilds of artists in the Medieval period.
