We learn from the passage that Giotto ----.

The word “Renaissance” means rebirth or revival,
and the idea of such a rebirth began to gain ground in
Italy from the fourteenth century onwards. When
people of the period wanted to praise a poet or an
artist, they said that his work was as good as that of
the ancients. For instance, the early Renaissance
painter Giotto was praised in this way as a master
who had led to a true revival of painting; by this,
people meant that his art was as good as that of the
famous masters whose work they found praised in
the classical Greek and Roman writers.
