The Fiesole Altarpiece is a significant work of art by the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, one of the preeminent figures in the development of Western art. Created around 1320, this altarpiece is also known as the "Madonna with Child and Angels" or "Maestà di Fiesole." It is an exemplar of Giotto's contribution to the Italian Renaissance, showcasing his break from the Byzantine style and his pioneering techniques that laid the groundwork for the use of perspective, modeling, and a more naturalistic representation of figures.

The altarpiece was originally commissioned for the Church of San Girolamo in Fiesole, near Florence, which explains its common name. It is a tempera on wood painting, a medium typical of the time, which involves pigment mixed with a binder such as egg yolk. The central panel of the altarpiece features the Virgin Mary enthroned, holding the Christ Child, flanked by angels. This composition reflects the Maestà format, which was popular in Italian sacred art during the 13th and 14th centuries, depicting the Virgin Mary as the Queen of Heaven.

Giotto's work is characterized by a solidity of form and a clarity of composition that was revolutionary for its time. The figures in the Fiesole Altarpiece possess a weight and three-dimensionality that were unprecedented, moving away from the flat, elongated figures and gold backgrounds typical of Byzantine art. Giotto's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the emotional expressions and interactions of his figures, contribute to the narrative quality of his works.

The Fiesole Altarpiece is notable not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical significance. It represents a key moment in the transition from medieval to Renaissance art, and it provides insight into the evolving aesthetics and techniques that would come to define the Renaissance period. Today, the altarpiece is housed in the Museo Bandini in Fiesole, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical importance.
