Giotto’s Angels

*

“Giott’s delight in the Dream angel’s leap into life out of the fresco, so clear in his treatment of the figure’s coat tails – the feeling for painterly touch at this point, for transparency and opaqueness, for the dry encounter of pigment with brush – is his way of reflecting on God’s creation, on ‘reality’ and its discontinuities.”

T.J. Clark, Heaven on Earth, pg. 45
