Chapter 14-Late Medieval Italy

Giotto di Bondone, Lamentation, ca. 1305. Late Medieval Italy.

I absolutely love the display of emotion in the Lamentation painting by Giotto di Bondone. It stood out to me because the visages of the figures featured in the painting not only indicate the recognition of  human feeling, but I believe that it successfully involves its viewers, technically making them witnesses to the scene.
