Has anyone ever noticed that the Giotto paintings are full of hidden characters and objects. I have not seen any comments on this… but it is a trademark in all of his paintings… some are full of them. My hunch is that he added more and more as time passed.

What a privilege to sit in my study and
look at these works of art. We lived in Pisa, Italy and had many opportunities to visit “Firenze” with it’s Duomos and museums. Rome, Venice, and the many hill towns were also part of our cultural experiences.
