This book concentrates on the first few years of the Arena
Chapel s existence, treating its subject as an integrated project
involving art, architecture and viewer experience. This,
argues Laura Jacobus, is how Giotto would have approached
the task of designing the chapel and its frescoes: as a holistic
entity. Determining the nature of the original project is of
primary importance for understanding the frescoes which
decorate the chapel, and this is the first book to consider
the building s original functions, form and usage. Doing
so allows the author to propose a series of completely new
interpretations of the frescoes, revealing them to be both
more concerned with the mundane, and more spiritually
profound, than has previously been understood.
The book includes a wealth of illustrations, and valuable
appendices of newly-discovered documents or newly-
edited and translated sources, by Prof. Benjamin J. Kohl and
Dr. Joseph Spooner.
Part I rigorously examines a wide variety of evidence in
order to answer many of the questions surrounding the
chapeľs
history. In the fullest biography of the chapel s
patron yet published, the author calls into question received
opinion about his motivation for building the chapel.
Interpreting documentary material together with physical
evidence found in the chapel itself, she proposes a new
understanding of the chapel as a multi-functional social
space, divided along lines of gender and social status, and
intended for use by very different constituencies. She also
demonstrates that the chapel s design and construction
were dynamic processes subject to change over the course
of just a few years, and that Giotto s own involvement with
the project fluctuated. Reassessing workshop practices in
the light of the recent restoration of the frescoes, she offers
new insights into Giotto s role as one of the founders of the
western art tradition. Most controversially, she proposes
a radical reconstruction of Giotto s original design of the
Arena Chapel frescoes.
Part II of the book turns to the interpretation of Giotto s
frescoes in the light of these discoveries. The author adopts
a number of different perspectives, always with the aim
of recovering viewers experiences of the chapel, and their
potential understanding of the frescoes. She highlights the
ideological content of Giotto s images, suggesting that the
frescoes express the interests and insecurities of the new,
entrepreneurial class to which both the artist and his patron
belonged. Far from being a source of fear and loathing,
wealth is re-branded in the frescoes as a social good. The
manners and mores of the newly-rich are reflected and
reinforced on the walls of the chapel, which show a world
characterised by socially-harmonious inequality of the sexes
and social estates. In what is possibly the earliest programme
of confraternal imagery yet to be discovered, the
Apoštoláte
is presented as the idealised mirror of a corrupt and elitist
confraternity. Yet there are also profound moral and spiritual
lessons to be learned from the frescoes, which place every
viewer within an unfolding history of human salvation and
offer each one the hope of Heaven through the exercise of
their own moral choice.
