Summary:	"In Italy narrative representation simultaneously played a crucial role in the newly developing realm of pictorial naturalism and acted as a fundamental feature of Christian imagery. Hans Belting, in outlining a significant shift in this mode of art at the time of Giotto, highlights the essential parallels between narrative structure and the Christian faith: "Revelation is told as a biography of Christ ... The truth became visible through the narration of miraculous and significant events, res gestae, in the sense of true and important facts." Over time, however, Belting argues that narrative imagery of the Trecento developed a more complex, communicative language, allowing for psychological interpretation and allegorical readings; "Narrative adopted an instrumental scope.""--
