DESCRIPTION: 14 Giotto The Stefaneschi Triptych Christ Enthroned c. 1330 Tempera on panel Pinacoteca, Vatican The picture shows the middle panel on the side showing Christ. Surrounded by a heavenly host, the enormous Christ is enthroned in solemn majesty on a richly decorated Gothic throne. As if given a place among the circle of angels, the donor Cardinal Stefaneschi kneels before the throne on the marble floor, which is laid out in perspective. He is clothed in a simple robe and has reverently laid aside his cardinal's hat. Unlike the angels, the cardinal bends forward as if he wanted to kiss the feet of the Lord. ....Web Gallery Of Art
