Giotto, Entry into Jerusalem, Scrovegni Chapel (Arena Chapel), 1305, fresco
The artist who had the most influence on the art of the Italian Renaissance is Giotto. His work was richly descriptive and naturalistic for his time and he was held in such high regard that his persona endured well beyond his own time. This fresco from the Arena Chapel shows Christ entering into Jerusalem.
