One day during his apprenticeship (with Giovanni Cimabue), Giotto painted a fly on the nose of a figure in one of his mentor's unfinished paintings. Cimabue later returned to work and repeatedly tried to brush it away, before suddenly realizing that he had fallen victim to one of his student's practical jokes.

Giotto di Bondone, (c. 1267-1337) Florentine Renaissance painter, architect, and sculptor; city architect of Florence (1334) - noted for his rejection of the formulaic Byzantine for a more natural style, and for his design of the campanile for the cathedral in Florence.
