Giotto di Bondone was a fourteenth-century Italian painter who is often credited with transforming the art of painting by introducing a more lifelike and emotional style. He is known for his realistic figures, use of space, and innovative compositions, which marked a departure from the more stylized and flat representations typical of medieval art. Giotto's work laid the groundwork for the development of the Italian Renaissance. Therefore, the correct response is:

**a fourteenth-century Italian painter who was inspired by classical Greek and Roman art to paint lifelike figures.**
