Giotto and his works in Padua

John Ruskin, a prominent Victorian critic and painter, sought to inspire cultural and social change through his writings, influenced by Evangelical Revival and Romantic art. His thoughts on ecology, conservation, and art education have gained recognition for their significance. Alongside Ruskin, Giotto, a pivotal figure of the Italian Renaissance, is celebrated for his frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel, which illustrate the lives of the Virgin and Christ, marking a high point in Renaissance artistry. Together, they represent transformative figures in art history.
