Life during the Middle Ages (1066-1485) was dictated by how much money you had. Were you a nobleman? Or you were a farmer. The quality of your life was directly proportional to your status. The lords of the noble class ruled the territories, also known as villages. These villages consisted mostly of one-room houses, with perhaps a church and a blacksmith shop. Peasants or serfs lived in these villages and worked under the said Lord. Daily life was all about survival. Days were spent planting and growing food, harvesting crops, sewing clothes, and preparing all the supplies needed to survive. Trade between different villages was something that was only done as a last resort. People in each village worked together to ensure the success of their village. Life also depended on what kind of Lord you had. If he was a righteous Lord, they were treated reasonably well and did not suffer. As long as the harvest was good, they had plenty to eat and the work was divided equally. If he were an unjust Lord, the villagers would be subject to his whims. If he asked them for money or products, they had to give it to him, regardless of whether or not it would harm their very survival. Likewise, if he were a Lord who liked to argue with neighboring Lords, the villagers would be subject to plundering and plundering by other Lords who were seeking revenge on their particular Lord. Any revenge sought against a Lord by another Lord would mean that the people of said Lord's village paid the price. Crops were destroyed, houses burned, and villagers were sometimes killed. This was known as the feudal system. The feudal system was based on the rights of nobles, not serfs. Nobles preferred to sit in churches and special hunting privileges. They have... half the paper... done. Giotto used tempera to paint this. There are feelings of desperation from the apostles, but they are not as gripping or moving as those of Leonardo. Giotto has vibrant colors, especially considering the era in which it was painted. However he doesn't use landscape, there is no symmetry. When you look at him, you can understand who Christ is thanks to the golden halo around his head. However, deciphering which of the apostles is Judas would be in vain. He didn't use symbolism, there's no depth. The wallpaper is made in a golden shade, not in a natural version. The faces of the apostles show a questioning look, but there are no different emotions. Everyone is also sitting around a table, there is no movement. I have to say that although it was a great painting for its time, it is not memorable to me. Leonardo's version is much more.
