Ancient artist reached around one (6)
I believe the answer is:
giotto
'ancient artist' is the definition.
'giotto' can be an answer for 'artist' (14th-century Italian painter). I am unsure of the 'ancient' bit.
'reached around one' is the wordplay.
'reached' becomes 'got to' (getting to is a kind of reaching).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'gotto' enclosing 'i' is 'GIOTTO'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for giotto that I've seen before include "Italian artist" , "C thirteen-fourteen Italian painter" , "Fourteenth century Florentine artist" , "C14 Florentine frescoist" , "Italian painter, 1267-1337" .)
