Elements of giotto's new style that appear in the madonna enthroned include

In this scene, Mary is represented at age three, taken to the temple in Jerusalem by her parents. The scene takes place at the entrance of the temple. On the left is Joaquin, father of the Virgin, next to the old Simeon, who is supposed to be 112 years old. Climbing the stairs with Mary is Saint Anne, wrapped in a broad red cloak. The girl receives the high priest Abiathar among the girls who are already in the temple and who are seen in a kind of sill on them. On the right, in the foreground, two high priests comment on the scene.

It is evident in this fresco Giotto's departure from the Byzantine style: the front representations oppose back or profile positions here; In addition, it does not represent the characters in a golden background, but in a contemporary architecture typical of an Arnolfo di Cambio, with colored marbles and fine columns. The temple resembles the one that appears in the scene "Joaquin expelled from the Temple", from the same cycle of paintings. Adopt the oblique vanishing point. In this scene the sense of the perception of the dominant space in architecture and in the characters is affirmed. The constructions represented are contemporary. His realism appears in the drapes, which are light, in the gestures and expressions of the figures, as well as in the detailed representation of the marbles of the temple, or the basket carried by one of the characters.
