Description
English: Francesco d'Assisi practices an exorcism against the devils of Arezzo; Giotto's fresco in the Church of Saint Francis, Assisi / Giotto began his apprenticeship with Cimabue between the ages of ten and fourteen. A trip to Rome probably completed the young painter's training, after which he followed his teacher to what was at the time the largest "building site" in Italy, the Church of St. Francis in Assisi. There, Cimabue was in charge of the decoration of the newly erected High Church. When he left Assisi to fulfill other duties, several of his aides and officers, including Giotto, were left behind. At the same time, the Roman painters, led by Jacopo Torriti, arrived in Assisi, so several study groups were then working together. Not long after, Giotto became the independent leader of a workshop, and the Franciscan order assigned him the task of continuing with the decoration.
Español: San Francisco de Asís practica un exorcismo contra los diablos de Arezzo; fresco de Giotto en la Iglesia de San Francisco, Asís / Giotto comenzó su aprendizaje con Cimabue entre los diez y los catorce años. Un viaje a Roma probablemente completó la formación del joven pintor, después de lo cual siguió a su maestro a lo que era en ese momento la "obra de construcción" más grande de Italia, la iglesia de San Francisco en Asís. Allí, Cimabue estuvo a cargo de la decoración de la recién erigida Iglesia Alta. Cuando dejó Asís para cumplir con otras obligaciones, varios de sus ayudantes y oficiales, incluido Giotto, se quedaron atrás. Al mismo tiempo, los pintores romanos, liderados por Jacopo Torriti, llegaron a Asís, por lo que varios grupos de estudio entonces trabajaban juntos. Poco tiempo después, Giotto se convirtió en el líder independiente de un taller, y la orden franciscana le asignó la tarea de continuar con la decoración.
