Scrovegni Chapel Virtual Tour: Giotto’s Frescoes in Padua
Step inside one of the greatest masterpieces of Western art with this virtual tour with slides dedicated to the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua and the extraordinary frescoes of Giotto.
Created at the beginning of the 14th century, the chapel is a small space that completely changed the history of painting. Commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, its walls were transformed by Giotto into an extraordinary visual journey filled with emotion, color, movement and remarkably human expressions.
During this virtual experience, we will explore the chapel in detail and follow Giotto’s magnificent narrative cycle, beginning with the stories of Joachim and Anna and the life of the Virgin Mary, before continuing through some of the most important episodes in the life, Passion and Resurrection of Christ.
Along the way, we will discover how Giotto broke with many medieval artistic traditions. These innovations would have an enormous influence on generations of Italian artists and help prepare the way for the Renaissance.
We will look closely at unforgettable scenes such as the Kiss of Judas, the Lamentation and the Last Judgment, discovering the gestures, expressions and small details Giotto used to tell powerful stories without words.
More than seven centuries later, the Scrovegni Chapel remains astonishingly modern in the way it portrays human emotions.
Join us for a fascinating journey through medieval Padua, Giotto’s revolutionary art and one of Italy’s most extraordinary artistic treasures — a virtual experience for anyone who loves Italian art, history and the masterpieces that changed the way we see the world.
