Reasons for the revolution were complicated and involved in both political and religious affairs. King James II became the king of England in 1685 when relationships within Catholics and Protestants were anxious. James, who was Catholic, supported devotion of Catholics and elected Catholic officers to the army. He had friendly ties with France, a connection that troubled several of the English people. With little carnage and struggle in England, the revolution directed to notable loss of life in Ireland and Scotland.
Giotto was an Italian Gothic painter, architect and sculptor.
He belonged to the circle of Gothic artists and the forerunner of the Renaissance era.
His contribution was thought to be pivotal in the development of this period in the arts.
He received his education in painting at the studio of the painter Cimabue.
He painted murals at St. Francis Church in Assisi. Many artists from Rome and other cities also worked on the frescoes, which led Giotto to become acquainted with painting of that time.
