Summary "Knights of Art: Stories of the Italian Painters" by Amy Steedman is a collection of historical accounts about notable Italian painters, likely written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on different artists from the Renaissance period, exploring their lives, influences, and the evolution of their artistry, as seen through the lens of Steedman's narrative style. The opening of the book sets a foundational context for the stories that follow, providing an overview of the importance of visual arts throughout history, particularly in relation to children's understanding of beauty. Steedman introduces key artists, starting with Giotto, illustrating his humble beginnings as a shepherd and his natural talent for drawing. The narrative describes Giotto's journey to becoming a master painter, highlighting critical moments in his life, such as his encounter with Cimabue, which ultimately leads him to Florence. This segment emphasizes how Giotto's innovative art changed the perception of painting by introducing more realistic depictions, setting the stage for the developments in art that would occur in the Renaissance. The opening lays out the groundwork for a series of engaging stories that delve into the lives of various influential painters, promising insights into both their art and their humanity.
