{"product_id":"raising-of-drusiana-giotto-di-bondone","title":"Raising of Drusiana - Giotto di Bondone","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine art print of Giotto's fresco from the Peruzzi Chapel, depicting the miracle of Saint John the Evangelist raising Drusiana from the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raising of Drusiana is a fresco located within the Peruzzi Chapel of the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence. Attributed to Giotto di Bondone, this work depicts a miracle from the life of Saint John the Evangelist. The scene captures the moment Saint John commands the deceased Drusiana to rise from her bier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this composition, Giotto moves away from the rigid conventions of Byzantine art. He employs a sense of spatial depth through the architectural elements in the background, which frame the figures and provide a sense of place. The figures are arranged in a semi-circular formation, creating a clear focus on the interaction between the saint and the rising woman. Giotto uses drapery to suggest the volume and weight of the human form, a departure from the flatter depictions common in the preceding century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette is restrained, relying on earth tones, ochres, and muted blues, which is characteristic of the fresco technique used in the Peruzzi Chapel. The figures exhibit a range of human reactions, from the astonishment of the onlookers to the solemnity of the saint. This focus on human emotion and naturalistic movement marks a shift in the trajectory of Western painting. The architectural structures, while simplified, provide a sense of scale that anchors the narrative within a tangible environment. This print captures the weathered texture of the original plaster, preserving the historical character of the fresco as it appears in the Santa Croce chapel today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/conversion-of-the-heretic-benozzo-gozzoli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eConversion of the Heretic - Benozzo Gozzoli — Benozzo Gozzoli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-annunciation-petrus-christus\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Annunciation - Petrus Christus — Petrus Christus\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Giotto di Bondone","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455274750287,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455294476623,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58455294509391,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455294542159,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455294574927,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455294607695,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455294640463,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455294673231,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455294705999,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58455294738767,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58455294771535,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58455294804303,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Raising-of-Drusiana_Poster_CompositorV1_1786243245943.jpg?v=1786485945","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/raising-of-drusiana-giotto-di-bondone","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
