Cimabue，the greatest painter of the Middle Ages in Italy，was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on.He swatted the fly，but it didn't move.He reached out to touch the insect，only to find it was only wet paint.Turning around，he saw that his apprentice（學(xué)徒），Giotto，was laughing.Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away，and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled.
   Giotto di Bondone was born into a poor family in a village.Legend has it that one day，when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside，he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep，which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint.That was how Giotto's story began in Florence，where the young student grew under Cimabue's instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill.
   At that time，people in paintings didn't look real，and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with.Innovation was not stressed，so art had remained the same for hundreds of years.
   However，Giotto thought art should be something more，connected with people in a more realistic way.His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes（壁畫）for the Arena Chapel.Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then，he painted people the way he saw them，instead of the overly tall and beautiful people that other artists painted.He created three-dimensional space by using perspective，something that had not been done since Roman times.
   In addition to painting，Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.When Giotto was in his sixties，he painted the Ognissanti Madonna，another famous work of art.He continued working until the age of seventy.The ideas Giotto brought to painting throughout his life revolutionized the art world and made him one of the greatest painters ever.
