For many art critics, Giotto di Bondone is considered the Father of the European painting for his great pieces of work. His most important work was done between 1303 and 1310. One of his most notorious works was the painting of the interior of the Scrovengi Chapel, in Padua. The chapel was dedicated to the Annunciation, so the Virgin Mary and the Salvation, are the constant themes in the decoration.
