Abstract
- The article discusses the influence of the astrological and scientific writings of Italian philosopher Peter d'Abano on Italian painter Giotto di Bondone. The author focuses on Giotto's painting at the Chapel of Scrovegni. The author explains that the paintings at the chapel emphasize the physical representation of the sky and stars which characterized Peter's work. Subjects of the article also include the physiognomies of Peter's work, his astrological treatises, and Giotto's astrological cycle.
