But Masaccio left the frescoes unfinished in 1426 in order to respond to other commissions, probably coming from the same patron.

His best known works are probably his collaborations with Masaccio: Madonna with Child and St. Anne ( 1424 ) and the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel ( 1424 – 1428 ).

He drew on his contacts with early Quattrocento artists such as Brunelleschi and Masaccio to provide a practical handbook for the renaissance artist.

Renaissance painters traditionally began an apprenticeship with an established master at about the age of 12 ; Masaccio would likely have had to move to Florence to receive his training, but he was not documented in the city until he joined the painters guild ( the Arte de ' Medici e Speziali ) as an independent master on January 7, 1422, signing as " Masus S. Johannis Simonis pictor populi S. Nicholae de Florentia.

The circumstances of the 2 artists ' collaboration are unclear ; since Masolino was considerably older, it seems likely that he brought Masaccio under his wing, but the division of hands in the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne is so marked-Masolino is believed to have painted the figure of St. Anne and the angels that hold the cloth of honor behind her, while Masaccio painted the more important Virgin and Child on their throne-that it is hard to see the older artist as the controlling figure in this commission.

It has never been confirmed that Masaccio collaborated on that work, even though it is possible that he contributed to Masolino's polyptych for the altar of Santa Maria Maggiore with his panel portraying St. Jerome and St. John the Baptist, now in the National Gallery of London.

The revival of a style of architecture based on classical precedents inspired a corresponding classicism in painting and sculpture, which manifested itself as early as the 1420s in the paintings of Masaccio and Uccello.

Masaccio completed several panel paintings but is best known for the fresco cycle that he began in the Brancacci Chapel with the older artist Masolino and which had profound influence on later painters, including Michelangelo.

Italian Renaissance painting exercised a dominant influence on subsequent European painting ( see Western painting ) for centuries afterwards, with artists such as Giotto di Bondone, Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Perugino, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Titian.

Rembrandt and Caravaggio were primary influences on Nerdrum's work, while secondary influences include Masaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Titian, and the less obvious influences, according to Vine and either mentioned by Nerdrum himself or other critics, that include Brueghel, Goya, Chardin, Millet, as well the even less apparent Henry Fuseli, Caspar David Friedrich, Ferdinand Hodler, Edvard Munch, Käthe Kollwitz, Salvador Dalí, Chaim Soutine and Lars Hertervig.

According to Vasari, at their prompting in 1423 Masaccio travelled to Rome with Masolino: from that point he was freed of all Gothic and Byzantine influence, as may be seen in his altarpiece for the Carmelite Church in Pisa.

On February 19, 1426 Masaccio was commissioned by Giuliano di Colino degli Scarsi da San Giusto, for the sum of 80 florins, to paint a major altarpiece, the Pisa Altarpiece, for his chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Pisa.

Andrea del Castagno ( or Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla ) ( c. 1421 – 19 August 1457 ) was an Italian painter from Florence, influenced chiefly by Tommaso Masaccio and Giotto di Bondone.

* The serendipitous presence within the region of Florence in the early 15th century of certain individuals of artistic genius, most notably Masaccio, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Piero della Francesca, Donatello and Michelozzo formed an ethos out of which sprang the great masters of the High Renaissance, as well as supporting and encouraging many lesser artists to achieve work of extraordinary quality.

Masaccio produced two other works, a Nativity and an Annunciation, now lost, before leaving for Rome, where his companion Masolino was frescoing a chapel with scenes from the life of St. Catherine in the Basilica di San Clemente.

Masaccio (; December 21, 1401 – autumn 1428 ), born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, was the first great painter of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance.

According to Vasari, Masaccio was the best painter of his generation because of his skill at recreating lifelike figures and movements as well as a convincing sense of three-dimensionality.

Masaccio was born to Giovanni di Simone Cassai and Jacopa di Martinozzo in Castel San Giovanni di Altura, now San Giovanni Valdarno ( today part of the province of Arezzo, Tuscany ).

When it was cleaned in the 1980s, Masaccio's fresco of The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden ( Masaccio ) | The Expulsion ( 1426 – 1427 ) lost the added fig leaves.

It is not known if this was because of money quarrels with Felice or even if there was an artistic divergence with Masaccio.

Masaccio returned in 1427 to work again in the Carmine, beginning the Resurrection of the Son of Theophilus, but apparently left it, too, unfinished, though it has also been suggested that the painting was severely damaged later in the century because it contained portraits of the Brancacci family, at that time excoriated as enemies of the Medici.

Della Robbia was praised by his compatriot Leon Battista Alberti for genius comparable to that of the sculptors Donatello and Lorenzo Ghiberti, the architect Filippo Brunelleschi, and the painter Masaccio.

The contemporary of Donatello, Masaccio, was the painterly descendant of Giotto, furthering the trend towards solidity of form and naturalism of face and gesture that he had begun a century earlier.

Vasari's account was confirmed and amplified in the next century by Baldinucci, who says that he has seen many drawings by Finiguerra in the manner of Masaccio ; adding that Maso was beaten by Pollaiuolo in competition for the reliefs of the great silver altar-table commission by the merchants guild for the baptistery of St. John ( this famous work is now preserved in the Opera del Duomo ).

The first works attributed to Masaccio are the San Giovenale Triptych ( 1422 ) and the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne ( Sant ' Anna Metterza ) ( c. 1424 ) at the Uffizi.
