The Holy Trinity, by Masaccio

Masaccio's famous religious painting "Holy Trinity" is known from its linear perspective, creating a vision beyond the canvas by creating an illusion of depth (or should it be called a wall?). This picture solves many religious concepts by setting various levels and level of building space. The character being drawn consists of four groups of characters including the Trinity (God, Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit), Virgin Mary and St. John, Donor, and the skeleton on the tomb.

Masaccio's Holy Trinity and Grunewald's Isenheim altarpiece comparison Masaccio's Holy Trinity painting was completed in about 1428 years. This is a good example of how to use Masaccio's space and view. It consists of two different heights. The representative of Christ is in the upper square-barrel-shaped arched chapel. There is Virgin Mary on one side and St. John on the other. - The early Renaissance art of Florence was focused on sophisticated Gothic paintings; it is very formal and traditional, but there is always something that seems to be missing. The perspective and depth are two very important qualities of painting, but until the young Masaccio (born in Tommaso Guidi), the painting was beautiful, but it seemed just like the art hanging on the wall. In Masaccio's work, "It seems that these numbers come forward instead of retreating in space" (Cole 120)

The Holy Trinity of Masaccio has become an influential painting by several generations of artists in Florence. After more than a century of writing, biographer George Vasari (1511-74) was shocked by Masaccio's perspective microcosm, so he is a fictitious chapel that there is a hole in the wall I was convinced. In 1570, an altar of stone was built in the church of Santa Maria Novella, which covered the mural painting of Masaccio. Thus, from 1570 until 1861, murals remained invisible for nearly three centuries until the altar was removed and the picture became visible again. However, until 1952 - the lower part of the painting (skeleton) was also discovered - the entire mural painting was placed in the field of vision.

Perhaps Masaccio's most famous paintings are the least specific. The Trinity is drawn on the left wall of the Church of Santa Maria Novella. At that time Trinity fell off the wall. In "Trinity" of Masaccio, the application of the Brunelles system to the virtual space based on the actual building has not been partially solved. It is difficult to imagine where God and his father are standing or how the relationship with Christ in his universe relates.
