Renaissance Art
Work of the Weekend: Giotto's Arena Chapel
Reginaldo Degli Scrovegni was a usurer. He was so ill regarded that he was even mentioned by the great writer Dante in his Divine Comedy. Dante ran into him in the 7th circle of Hell.
Artist of the Week: Giotto di Bondone
Statue of Giotto di Bondone, close to the Uffizi, Italy.
