Usury- the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest.

# data[].attributes.body
Giotto did great work with his art by giving it the look of 3D effects by using the ilussions and shadows given to the people and objects in his artwork.

The space is called an arena chapel because it is literally built right by an ancient arena.

Giotto makes it relate to others by painting Mary and Christ showing his birth, in the same way he paints them showing his death.

Usury is the the illegal practice of lending money at very high and unfair rates of interest.

The tree can be a representation of life and death, and possible even the rebirth of Jesus Christ.

The space is called the arena chapel because it was built next to an ancient Roman arena.

The tree could symbolize a season, or it could also be referring to the death of Jesus, as the tree is also dead, and when the leaves grow back on the tree, that will be like Jesus' resurrection.

Giotto was very good at painting in a way that draws our eye to the focus point of said piece. He also is very good at including symbolism which at the time could be read by the people of that day and age.

What is one way Giotto makes this paining relate to other paintings in the same chapel?

He composes the pair of Mary and Christ in the same way in the panel depicting his birth that he does in the panel depicting his heath.

Usury is charged interest or really high rates. The tree symbolizes Christ and his reserection.

Giotto used illusionism by showing true emotion and giving people facial expression as well as making their clothes match the time that they are in. He also did a good job with drapery in the clothes, which no one has seen since Greco-Roman times.

The landscape is in service of drawing our eye towards Christ.

By having the two figures with their backs to us creates an illusion of space.

How are the registers of paintings arranged in a hierarchy?

The registers are in three rows, which tells a story. One being Christ's grandparents, Joachim and Anne on the right wall, and on the left Mary. Second we see the Life of Christ. Lastly on the bottom, the Passion of Christ.

What might be the symbolism of the tree?

The tree is the rooting of the figures in the scene (Painting), and also the tree is on one of the highest points, which leads to Christ.

-J. Corey Thomas

The registers are arranged starting at the top with Christ's grandparents, and the birth and marriage of Mary. The 2nd is the Life of Christ or his ministry and the 3rd is the Passion of Christ- events at the end of his life and after.

Giotto focused more on the authenticity of what reactions real people would have. Making his work seem real. This focus on realism transferred over when he was creating anything such as a landscape. His goal was to make it a real as possible.
