Which artist sought to reconcile the illusion of a weighty, three-dimensional body with the illusion of the space that contained it?

A) Duccio
B) Giotto
C) Cavallini
D) Martini

Giotto is renowned for his contributions to the development of Western art, particularly for his innovative approach to creating a more realistic representation of space and form. His work marked a departure from the flat, stylized figures of Byzantine art, towards a more naturalistic depiction of figures and space, effectively reconciling the illusion of a weighty, three-dimensional body with the illusion of the space that contained it. This approach laid the groundwork for the developments in perspective and spatial illusion that would characterize Renaissance art.
