Abstract

Contemporary esthetic discourse on Giotto’s architectural frames shall confront with historiography and philosophy of history. The artist’s Duecento motivations can be considered as antithetical to the consequences produced by Giotto techniques in the following century. Boccaccio’s observations on Giotto’s illusionism, which were followed by Longhi’s thought, are here considered to be in contrast to the postmodern gaze resting on the same pictorial objects.
