Giotto: The Father of the Renaissance

This documentary traces the life and legacy of Giotto di Bondone, the fourteenth-century painter hailed as the father of European painting. Long before Leonardo and Michelangelo, Giotto broke with medieval convention to give figures real weight and feeling. The film explores his frescoes and the artistic revolution he set in motion. It is a rich, unhurried watch for anyone who loves art history and the origins of the Renaissance. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
