VISIT TO THE SCROVEGNI CHAPEL WITH TRANSFER FROM ABANO/MONTEGROTTO
The Scrovegni Chapel is known throughout the world for the extraordinary pictorial cycle created by Giotto in just two years, between 1303 and 1305. The work is the artist’s greatest fresco masterpiece and bears witness to the profound revolution that the Tuscan painter brought to Western art.
The fresco cycle by Giotto narrates the History of Salvation in two different paths: the first with the Stories of the Life of the Virgin and Christ painted along the naves and on the triumphal arch; the second begins with the Vices and Virtues faced in the lower portion of the main walls and ends with the majestic Last Judgement on the counter-façade.
The first great revolution accomplished by Giotto in Padua is in the representation of space: you can admire examples of “perspective” that anticipate Renaissance theories by a hundred years. The second is the attention paid to the representation of man, in his physicality and emotionality. The vaulted ceiling is a blue blanket of stars and features round figures of Mary, Christ and the Prophets. The sculptural group Madonna and Child between two angels created by the great sculptor Giovanni Pisano at the beginning of the fourteenth century is still preserved in the presbytery.
The fresco cycle of the Scrovegni Chapel was registered in 2021 in the UNESCO World Heritage List within the serial site “The fresco cycles of the 14th century in Padua”.
