Giotto's Stefaneschi Triptych (Front)

            Giotto di Bondone is perhaps the most famous painter of the early Renaissance.  He is credited with introducing more realism into painting, breaking with the prevailing Byzantine style. 

This is his Stefaneschi Triptych (front).  This triptych was originally placed in old St Peter's basilica and its name comes from Cardinal Jacopo Caetani degli Stefaneschi who had commissioned the work. 

It is the centrepiece of, and dominates, Room II of the Pinacoteca Vaticana. The painting was by Giotto and assistants around 1315 - 1320.

On the centre panel is Christ enthroned, flanked by angels and the Cardinal Stefaneschi.  The two sides panels depict the Crucifixion of St Peter (on the left) and the Martyrdom of St Paul (on the right).

On the predella below, in the centre is the Virgin and Child flanked by Saints Peter and Paul, and two angels.  The other ten apostles are depicted standing on the two side panels.
