A number of 14th-century sources (Riccobaldo Ferrarese, Francesco da Barberino, 1312–1313) testify to Giotto's presence at the Arena Chapel's site.

Lamentation (The Mourning of Christ) is a fresco painted c.1305 by the Italian artist Giotto as part of his cycle of the Life of Christ on the interior walls of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy. [1] The Scrovegni Chapel was built as a private chapel next to the Eremitani Monastery by the wealthy Scrovegni family and consecrated in 1305.
Giotto did away with many aspects of Byzantine art that would flatten the painting. Within Cimabue's Santa Trinita Maestà , there is the use of gold tracing to delineate the folds of the fabric. In contrast to this, Giotto's fabric folds are more realistic, and instead of lines he used light, shadow, and color to create the appearance of fabric.
Enrico Scrovegni was a Paduan money-lender who lived around the time of Giotto and Dante. He was the son of Reginaldo degli Scrovegni and Capellina Malacapelli, and was married twice, first to a member of the Carrara family, then to Jacopina (Giacomina) d'Este, daughter of Francesco d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara.

Padua Crucifix (c. 1300-1305). The Padua Crucifix (Italian: Crocifisso di Padova) is a painting in tempera on poplar panel by Giotto of c. 1303–1305. [1] Originally hanging in the centre of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, above the latticework of the iconostasis, it was probably contemporaneous with his frescoes in the same chapel. [2]
