Focusing on three significant works by Giotto, the analysis explores the relationships between Franciscan friars and influential bankers, revealing how mercantile wealth influenced the themes of poverty in his art. It challenges the simplistic view of Giotto as merely the pioneer of Western painting, offering a deeper understanding of the socio-economic dynamics at play during his time.
