Foreshortening
Chiaroscuro
Giotto, gives us a very theatrical dramatic view of the death of Christ at the moment Mary views his body
Highly emotionally charged due to facial expression and human gestures that Giotto witnessed
Foreshortening is a way to show 3-d on a 2-d surface-angels
Natural light source shining the same on all objects
Theatrics-people with their backs to us draw us in
We are asked to identify with one of several emotions-gendered emotions
