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'm unsure of the 'ancient' bit.
'reached around one' is the wordplay.
'reached' becomes 'got to' ('get to' can be a synonym of 'reach').
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'gotto' going around '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" .)
