This text analyzes the paintings of the face of Christ by artists Coppo di Marcovaldo and Giotto de Bandone. The reflections are guided by the thought that art is as a form of knowledge that establishes a relationship between the external reality and the artist’s subjectivity; thus, social changes are recorded in artistic creations. This text will be written through the relationship between scholars authors and artists. The sensitivity of the work of Coppo di Marcovaldo will be related to the writings of Anselm de Bec. The concreteness of man, in the painting of Giotto Bondone, will be associated with the reflections of Thomas Aquinas. Through the iconographic analysis, we see that Marcovaldo presents a Christ with strong characteristics of suffering, which can be understood as enhancement of the sensitive aspect of humanity, drawing closer to the thought of Anselm. Giotto, meanwhile, creates a Christ with human characteristics, but without the sentimental appeal, which is closer to those of Thomas Aquinas. Thus, the images of Christ of Marcovaldo and Giotto express the changes that have occurred in art and the constant movement in the way of thinking and understanding the world that form history. For us, it is in this relationship intertwined in the changes in social relations, expressed in works of the academic authors and in their iconographic manifestations, that we see the amalgam that exists between the artistic subjectivity and the training/education of men.
