The Brancaccis commissioned for Masaccio to paint the inside of the Santa Maria del Carmine chapel

Subject matter would be religion/religious

The composition of the painting draws our attention to Adam and Eve asides from the angel there is little foreground or background to distract our attention from them

Masaccio used earth tones in the background these highlight the stark flesh tones

Masaccio used Chiaroscuro which gives the painting a natural and realistic quality

The Tribute Money

Three parts of one story

Centre: jesus telling Peter to get money from the fish. Peter has a confused/agitated expression. Apostles form a semi circle around jesus

Linear/mathematical perspective. Jesus’s head is vanishing point

Chiaroscuro on clothing

No unessecary details/decoration

Left: peter getting money from the fishes mouth. Painting in dark tones to show he is further behind, forehortening

Right: peter is paying the tax collector. Tax collector is wearing florentine style clothes, peter and apostles wear greek style clothes

Background: trees, mountains, clouds in cold earth tones that contrast with the bringt coloured clothing

# data[].attributes.body
Technique:

- Fresco: wet plaster would harden with the painted image
- String and Nails: masaccio would hammer nails into the wall and attach string to line up in relation to the vanishing point (used for perspective)
- Shade and Tone: very dark tones, shading used to give the illusion of depth within the painting, used in relation to the vanishing point
- Colour: reds, blues, browns, whites, blacks, everything other than the people are muted
- Drapery: Masaccio used tone and shade like above to create the illusion of wrinkles and folds in clothing
- Chiaroscuro: use of colour and light

Human Body:

- Anatomy: Masaccio had a great understanding of the human anatomy and we can see this throughout his paintings, the body of jesus is well proportioned
- Facial features/expression: In studying the human anatomy, Masaccio was able to create realistic faces and could express emotions easily
- Foreshortening: used, again, for the illusion of perspective/depth/human anatomy
