310 to his ever-famous painting, The Lamentation over the Dead Christ, painted fresco in the Arena Chapel in Padua, Italy earlier in 1305. Because of his advances, artists thereafter began to accomplish the same. His works I would definitely like to see for myself.The accomplishments in architecture during that time, I have to say, are simply genius. Just to think of how these mass cathedrals, palaces, and such other buildings were precisely thought of and built absolutely fascinates me and blows my mind.
