Masaccio's Trinity
by
Rona Goffen (Editor)
Masaccio's "Trinity" examines one of the defining paintings of the Italian Renaissance. Renowned for the grandeur of its characterizations, both sacred and mortal, for the perspectival illusion of its monumental architectural setting, and for its compelling depictions of a human skeleton, the fresco was famous from the time it was painted in the 1420s, and remembered despite its having been hidden from view for nearly two centuries.

Masaccio
by
John T. Spike; Masaccio
Bold and realistic, the narrative power of Masaccio's entire body of work is explored in this elegant volume. In just seven years before his death at the age of twenty-six, Masaccio (1401-1428) developed a fully naturalistic and dramatic style that inaugurated Renaissance painting. His best-known work is the fresco cycle in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence (painted with Masolino), one of the world's artistic landmarks.
