In manners of skill‚ Giotto’s more classical and naturalist style took on other stylistic components that very well exhibited a 3-dimensional space upon a 2-dimensional plane.

True to it’s common characteristics‚ Chimabue’s "Enthroned Madonna and Child" stays loyal to the style of Italo-Byzantine art. Giotto’s "Ognissanti Madonna" however‚ in some key areas‚ strays away from the conventional techniques of the style.
