How did Giotto to his work represent the culture it was created in

Giotto di Bondone was known for being the earliest artist to paint more realistic figures rather than the stylized artwork of the medieval and Byzantine eras Giotto is considered by some scholars to be the most important Italian painter of the 14th century. His focus on emotion and natural representations of human figures would be emulated and expanded upon by successive artists, leading Giotto to be called the "Father of the Renaissance."
