giotto frescoed the chapel's whole surface, including the walls and the ceiling. the fresco cycle is organised along four tiers, each of which contains episodes from the stories of the various protagonists of the sacred history. each tier is divided into frames, each forming a scene. the chapel is asymmetrical in shape, with six windows on the longer south wall, and this shape determined the layout of the decoration. the first step was choosing to place two frames between each double window set on the south wall; secondly, the width and height of the tiers was fixed in order to calculate the same space on the opposite north wall.
