- Take a guided virtual tour of the Scrovegni (Arena) Chapel, in Padova, Italy - thanks to Matthew Brennan.
360-degree video allows you to look around the interior freely, and provides a new perspective on this masterpiece of Italian Renaissance art. See the frescoes up-close and at eye-level, as if you were floating right in front of them, thanks to a new approach developed by Mirror Stage Studio.

I could listen to these two for hours and hours on end.
Che bello! Grazie mille
I‘m glad these records exist on yt rather than just as a podcast somewhere on the Internet.
Thank you technology 🙌🏼
I LOVE these longer format versions. The VR is cool too, but the deep dive with the extended length is so great. Wonderful job!
Outstanding. You can not only pan in every direction but zoom in and out too. Great commentary, as always. Do more of these!
SPECTACULAR!!!!!!! THIS IS STATE OF THE ART, IN MANY WAYS BETTER THAN BEING THERE.
Right! Reminds me of my husband who said he’d rather watch hockey on tv than be there live because the camera follows everything you need to see.
Exquisite and glorious!
Fantastic!
I was in the Scrovegni Chapel a year or two ago with a small group of people. We had to book in advance. We had to wait for 30 minutes in a decompression chamber before we went in. Our visit lasted 30 minutes which is not really enough time to look closely at the frescos. I do see the need for these restrictions. But I was very glad that I had been in the chapel before its restoration when these restrictions didn’t apply.
I recommend this guided virtual tour for its art historical analysis and for the colour of the photography etc. Thanks to Martin Brennan and the unidentified female guide.
11 Thumbs down....WHY? Top class and incredibly detailed. Love this channel. Well done!
This is absolutely amazing, what a presentation! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Interesting experience of visiting the Arena chapel in pajamas while flying.
Great post. Thanks for covering this location and the work of the magnificent Giotto.
Now that was amazing!
Wow, thank you very much for uploading this. 😀
Please more of this, the longer format, and the VR was engrossing.
I visited Padua in September 2001, but alas the Scrovegni Chapel was closed due to restoration. Later that month I also visited Pisa where the Leaning Tower was still closed to the public after completion of its restoration. I did see a few people inside the Tower, but they were either VIPs or had connections. The Tower wasn't to open to the hoi polloi until I think November. I have to go back to Italy to visit both the Scrovegni Chapel and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Such an amazing presentation with the 360 video, its sooo perfect
Simply Amazing
Really cool to take in these buildings almost like in person. Hope to see more soon!
Thank you so much for this!
I've been hoping for a more in depth video on the beloved Cappella degli Scrovegni. What a wonderful addition to your channel! Thank you for doing this!!!
Please do more 360 videos

This is so COOL! Thanks a lot, could you do the Panteon next? haha
I relaxing ❤
VR just became interesting to me.
What have you done to this phone? I blamed it on the camerman. This is great. Thanks.
Does anyone else experience a lost of sound at 3:07?
Yes there is a momentary blip
I just don't know where to look at, haha
I question whether it's helpful to characterize the grouping of partial halos in the disciple's group to the left of Jesus in the Entry into Jerusalem, as a throwback to a medieval symbolic convention. Indeed, obstructing the view of background figures implies the viewer's perspective on the scene--as though roughly standing on the same ground plane--and is an important step towards constructing the pictorial space as a continuation of our own, as it will be in Florentine art of the 15th Century..
Shana! Thanks for commenting. As you know, this is a pretty standard pictorial strategy in Giotto's work and in the work of many other artists in Italy in the 14th century both for figures with and without a halo. It is also a standard pictorial strategy in older images, thus our reference. See, for example, the frescos or mosaics of the Chora church (the Last Judgment is a good example), or the soldiers in San Vitale here: flic.kr/p/2nvKDdD

If you haven seen it, make sure to see the original video this audio belongs to, called Giotto, Arena Chapel, part 1 (of 4) - that is also by Smarthistory - it's very complete and better illustrated.
a lot of times the camera is not showing what they're talking about.
In this this case, in the 3D environment, you, as viewer, control the camera's direction.
Great thank
