In today\u2019s class, we discussed The Tribute Money by Masaccio. Massaccio was commissioned by a man named Peter so a lot of his work included Saint Peter for a private chapel. This was another example of a work that included multiple scenes in one painting which was really interesting. It also represented current events at the time it was painted and the characters were wearing modern clothing. One aspect that I thought was super interesting (although not necessarily relevant to the content of the piece) was the placement of the giornate and Massacio trying to hide them. The framing of the work was really interesting as your eye did not jump from left to right but instead started in the center where Jesus was. We also talked about gesturing, and how Peter was mimicking the gesture of Jesus. There were also great examples on linear and atmospheric perspective in this painting which continued from previous lectures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We also discussed some of the difficulties behind portraying the Holy Trinity in a piece of art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
