View of a chapel

1304-06
Fresco, 150 x 140 cm
Cappella Scrovegni (Arena Chapel), Padua

Above the marble dado on either side of the triumphal arch, using a very clear perspective, with a common vanishing point, Giotto depicts two views of an interior space with cross-rib vaulting, whose dimensions are suggested by the lamp which hangs from the ceiling.
