Giotto, the first Italian master to achieve universal recognition in his own life time, initiated a new
style of painting in the early 1300s which revolutionised art in western Europe. His work has a sense of drama through body language and facial expression, and clarity in terms of storytelling - so much so that his images are still easily readable 700 years on.
