1252: 398:– see below, fig. 18); this Wise Man is also kneeling and his crown is held by a servant behind him. The third Magus is standing, his servant removing the crown while another nearby bears the gift. Behind the Magi are two emblematic figures, not taken from the traditional iconography, wearing fashionable headdress and long gray cloaks which leave uncovered their legs in red tights; probably they are representations of Masaccio's clients: the notary Ser Giuliano of Collino, taller and behind the first personage, likely his nephew, shorter and in the foreground, standing on a small mound. Finally, at right are the horses and servants. The artist's style is soft and mellow in the background, and strong and incisive elsewhere, as for instance in the capes of the two clients. The light and the rich colours unify the whole representation, without imbalances. 439:) while undergoing the nailing of hands; behind are two characters and a number of guards lined up, slightly smaller than the figures in the foreground. All lines (legs, looks) align the viewer's attention on the figure of Peter. In the Baptist's scene (right), the prophet is resigned, ready to accept his martyrdom by kneeling and offering his neck to the blade while praying in silent grief. In front of him, a basket is ready to receive his severed head. The scene is completed by two young guards who look on behind their long shields (originally friezed with ornaments, but now almost completely erased). Masaccio in both scenes tried to represent the executioners' violence by not showing their faces and thus their human side. The work is also notable for the architectural setting, the scene framed by two side 787: 154: 480: 1147: 769:: it tells the story of Saint Julian who, following Satan's prophecy, unknowingly kills his mother and father. In the first scene (left) Julian, while hunting, is in conversation with the devil in human form who prophesies him murdering his parents. Julian runs away from home and, after a long pilgrimage, marries a princess. In the central scene Masaccio depicts the moment in which the parents, in the course of searching for Julian, arrive by chance at his castle and spend the night in the master bedroom. Returning from a trip, Julian mistakes his parents for his wife in bed with a lover, and kills them. In the right pane Julian in horror discovers his mistake by meeting his wife; his face is contorted in pain, with a style reminding of 474: 408: 1176:: one is kneeling in the river and receives his baptism with joined hands; another one already stripped is waiting with crossed arms, trembling from the cold (great realism, the only figure praised by Vasari in the chapel); a third is taking his clothes off. Still another, barefoot and his head clearly wet, is dressing himself and buttoning his blue tunic. Extraordinary is the sense of the water and the wet effect in the kneeling man's hair. Peter's gesture is energetic and eloquent (note the rotation of the bowl). A crowd stands nearby, among which there are some characters who may be portraits of contemporaries. All figures glide naturally in depth, through the perfect relationship of light and shadow, which anticipate the 855: 259: 505:. The two scenes are inextricably combined, and the artist used a single point of perspective as if the two dwellings, open on a side to show the interior, were opposite on the same street. These two scenes are painted in a similar palette of colours like the scenes would require for domestic environments dominated by sleep, and are indeed worthy of a great master's hand. To the left is Julian the Hospitaller carrying out the killing of his parents while asleep, tricked by the devil into believing them to be his wife with her lover. In the adjacent alley Julian, recognizable by the red robe, regrets the act with his wife, covering his face in despair, a gesture reminiscent of Adam in 1587: 1204: 1349:). Where the scene of the healing (fig. 18) reminded one of the Roman Church founded by Peter and caring for the sick, this fresco personifies the Church as a distributor of goods and punisher of the wicked. The scene is characterised by a stylistic maturity, which makes the figures' expression most vigorous, besides composing the background in a more articulate manner, with architectural volumes less stereotyped. The group's arrangement, however, is more static than that of fig. 18, with the flight into perspective blocked by the circle of those present and from the white building in the background. 1313: 1472: 129: 750: 90: 664: 1388: 414: 670: 1531:, set in Masaccio's Florence: on the left the trumpeters, with the easily recognizable Florentine banners, arrive and play their trumpets (note the swollen cheeks of the trumpeter in the foreground) to announce the presentation of official gifts, such as this very tray held by the man on the far left. Some women and two nuns are entering the house. The latter appear to be bothered by the music, especially the nun at the center who glares at the trumpeters. They all walk through a Renaissance 929:) that only increase the expressive immediacy of the whole. Adam is curved, his head bent forward anxiously, walking in the barren desert of the world. The gestures of the two are essential and contained, yet full of expression, where references to the old and the real are intertwined with a deep psychological analysis of man. Masaccio's painting is sober and realistic, with a powerful use of chiaroscuro which models and describes with simplicity the essential elements of the figures. 521: 607: 821: 231:. In many ways the style of the painting is traditional; the expensive gold background and ultramarine draperies of the Virgin, her enlarged scale, and her hierarchical presentation (ceremoniously enthroned) all fit within the late-medieval formulas for the representation of Mary and Jesus in glory. In other ways, however, the painting is a step away from International Gothic in the sense that Masaccio has created a more realistic approach to the subject: 1359: 1410: 1397: 1009: 864: 511:(see below, fig. 14). The scene at right shows St Nicholas, also dressed in red, looking into the house of a poor man with three daughters, who are asleep. The saint gives them the gift of three golden balls (one of which he's holding in his hand), which will allow them to marry. The rigidity of the symmetrical layout of the two rooms is resolved by slightly turning the second room, in order to avoid repetition. 115:. It represents the Virgin and Child with angels in the central panel, Saints Bartholomew and Blaise on the left panel, and Saints Juvenal (i.e. San Giovenale) and Anthony Abbot in the right panel. The painting has lost much of its original framing, and its surface is badly abraded. Nevertheless, Masaccio's concern to suggest three-dimensionality through volumetric figures and foreshortened forms (a revival of 965: 634:, wrapped in a large green mantle modeled by large fields of color lighted up wisely. The bearded face is reminiscent of ancient philosophers, and the gaze is steady and looking in the distance. Some details, like the perspective of the cross and the saint's solid posture, suggest the artist's intention to optimise these shapes for a view from below, as did Donatello, friend of Masaccio and staying in 1466: 324: 1198: 330: 190: 971: 1672:: Jerome appears stern and grim, while John looks scruffy and also slightly sad. It is the wealth of observations taken from the ordinary that reveals Masaccio's hand, such as John's bony foot so firmly planted on the ground and shortened to perfection. These details he shared with his friend Donatello, and it was Vasari who pointed out how Masaccio put an end to the "barbarian" habit of the 1000: 959: 1677:
contrast, the distance between him and Jerome, who stands before John; half of Jerome's face is in the shadow, as a result of the large hat; part of John's left leg is exposed and beautifully lit up; and light draws the shadows on the carpet of wild flowers. The roundness of John's sculptoreal limbs achieves a realistic peak previously unknown in painting.
887:, chased from the garden by a threatening angel. Adam covers his entire face to express his shame, while Eve's shame requires her to cover parts of her body. The fresco had a huge influence on Michelangelo: Masaccio provided a large inspiration to the more famous Renaissance painter, due to the fact that Michelangelo's teacher, 1278:, walking on the street and on passing his shadow heals a group of sick people: two are already up to thank him (one has stick, the other a bandaged ankle), one is rising and fourth, with bent deformed legs, still crouched on the ground, looks at the saint. The figure with the red cap has been recognized as a portrait of 1429:, flanked by Mary and John or including donors, is not uncommon in Italian art of the late 14th and early 15th centuries, and the association of the Trinity with a tomb also has precedents. No precedent for the exact iconography of Masaccio's fresco, combining all these elements, has been discovered, however. 1560:

The story is told in three parts that do not occur sequentially, but the narrative logic is still maintained, through compositional devises.

Ghirlandaio also imitated various designs done by Masaccio.

Much of his work has been destroyed, and what remains is often in poor condition, but undergoing some restoration.
