How was giotto’s ability to show depth different from more traditional methods?

The art of the Byzantine, Medieval and Gothic periods was magnificent and beautiful, although they did not present any effort in order to create the visual effect of depth and space. The Italian master Giotto (1267-1337) began to explore the idea of depth and volume in his art. It is possible to say that Giotto introduced a primitive form of perspective, by using shades effects to create an illusion of depth

He did not rely on the traditional method of an architectural framework.
