Masolino da Panicale Established at Florence Masolino was received in 1423 a member of the corporation of druggists or grocers (speziali) which then included painters of the Brancacci chapel in the Church of Carmelite. Masolino's glory is to have collaborated in the carmine and to be also the master and forerunner of Masaccio. The delicate taste of the architecture, the pleasing sense of the landscape are still general traits of the art of this period. www.catholicity.com /encyclopedia/m/masolino_da_panicale.html   (1043 words)

Study Of Art - Masolino Da Panicale - 1383-1447 Masolino (Tommaso di Cristoforo di Fino) is believed to have studied with Stamina, the principal teacher of the time. His name, like that of Masolino, is a derivative from Tomasso — awkward or " great hulking Tom " as Browning phrases it, the other being diminutive, " Little Tom." Few facts are known concerning his life, his work in the Brancacci Chapel being the principal record. In view of the great difference of opinion as to the portions done by Masolino and Masaccio the student's judgment should be based upon the study of the pictures themselves. www.oldandsold.com /articles28/art-study-9.shtml   (1453 words)

Masolino da Panicale frescoes Masolino is a transition artist between the courteous art and humanistic arts. Even though Masolino did not paint the choir's walls, Joannides (1988) recognised that the organization of the frescoes and the adopted criteria are strictly related to Masolino. Masolino was a great artist and his paintbrush fits the surface with great skillness. www.parrocchie.it /castiglioneolona/verginedelrosario/ingl4.htm   (1177 words)

History of Art: Gothic Art- Masolino Masolino’s most extensive independent fresco cycle in the Lombard town of Castiglione Olona (a work unknown to Vasari) was recovered in 1843, and a century later the fresco fragments and the sinopie of another, documented cycle were discovered in the church of S Stefano, Empoli. The influence on Masolino of the stronger and more decisive personality of Masaccio reached its climax in the frescoes of scenes from the life of St. Peter in the Brancacci Chapel in the Church of the Carmine in Florence. The death of Masaccio in Rome in the autumn of 1428 marks a turning point in Masolino's career, and the story of his later development is that of a progressive return to the International Gothic idiom of his youth. www.all-art.org /gothic_era/masolino1.html   (720 words)

Masolino da Panicale - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) He was admitted (1423) to the apothecaries' guild in Florence, in which painters were enrolled, and was soon commissioned to paint the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence. Upon his return to Florence, Masolino found painters occupied with problems of perspective, light and shade, and classical architecture and decoration, ideas that he utilized while retaining much of the old Giottesque tradition. Attributed to Masolino are The Foundation of Santa Maria Maggiore and a Madonna and Christ in Glory (Naples); Madonna with Angels (Church of San Fortunato, Todi); two Annunciations (National Gall. www.encyclopedia.com /doc/1E1-masolino.html   (416 words)

Florence Art Guide - Tommaso di Cristoforo Fini known as Masolino da Panicale Instead Masolino immediately realised that Masaccio's painting contained the most extraordinary qualities and novelty and, as a result, shared two important commissions with the young artist: the St. Anne, today in the Uffizi (1424 ca.), and the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel (1424-28). Masaccio died shortly afterwards, when he was only 27 years old, but Masolino never forgot what he had been taught and, for the rest of his life, tried to instil his basically Gothic manner of painting with the plastic, perspective and classical contents of the new style that he had learnt in the Brancacci Chapel. Masolino's painting was never revolutionary but became a rather lively modernization of the Gothic style, it was still basically dependent on the outline but he also began to use softer, more natural effects and delicate shading. www.mega.it /eng/egui/pers/maso.htm   (308 words)

Masolino da Panicale Notwithstanding the lack of evidence to corroborate this, Ghiberti's art is acknowledged as being one of the primary components of his artistic formation. Masolino's painting was not revolutionary but was, rather, a vivacious updating of the Gothic. Masolino sojourned at the Hungarian Court (1425), in Rome (the frescoes in San Clemente, the Chapel of Santa Caterina, 1428, in collaboration with Masaccio) and in Castiglione Olona. www.provincia.va.it /preziosita/ukvarese/pers/masolino.htm   (294 words)

Biography Masolino's style was softer than Masaccio's and there is a fair measure of agreement about the division of hands. Masolino's contributions, completed between 1424 and 1427, include The Preaching of St. Peter, The Raising of Tabitha, and The Fall of Adam and Eve. After Masaccio's death Masolino reverted to the more decorative style he had practiced earlier in his career. www.wga.hu /bio/m/masolino/biograph.html   (259 words)

Perspective: The Role of Perspective: Page 2 It seems clear that Masolino had understood, for the first time in history, the power of the central vanishing-point construction in depicting visual space. Even if they were painted at the same time, Masolino’s is the more remarkable for the accuracy of its vanishing point and for the integration of foreground and background perspective. The depth in the ‘Holy Trinity’ is relatively shallow, being restricted to the interior of a chapel with an approximately square ground plan (Field, 1997). webexhibits.org /sciartperspective/perspective2.html   (746 words)

[No title] He employed the Tuscan artist Masolino to fresco the Church, Baptistery and palace, and the Baptistery frescos are considered to be the painter's late masterpiece. Masolino was born in Panicale (central Italy) around 1383-84 and christened Tommaso, though it was his nickname "Masolino" (from "Tommasino" meaning "little Thomas") that stuck.

ARTINVEST2000® MASACCIO - TOMMASO DI SER GIOVANNI CASSAI The second work was a collaboration with an older and already renowned artist, Masolino da Panicale, and for many years it was assumed Masaccio was simply an apprentice to Masolino. It has been also supposed that Masolino was planning this trip from the very beginning, and needed the presence of a close collaborator who could keep up the work after his departure. It has been never confirmed that Masaccio collaborated to that work, even though it could be possible he contributed to Masolino's polyptych of the altar of St. Mary Major with his panel portraying St. Jerome and St. John the Baptist, now in the National Gallery of London. www.artinvest2000.com /masaccio_english.htm   (1098 words)

The Annunciation Fifteenth-century viewers of this Annunciation would have recognized not only its general subject, but also the particular moment Masolino chose to paint. Masolino is best known for his collaboration with Masaccio on the frescoes of the Brancacci chapel in Florence—and for his failure to pursue Masaccio's innovations.

The Annunciation - Provenance On 8 March 1426, when Guardini replaced his old will with a new one, his chapel must already have been not only built but also decorated, since it appears to be regularly officiated by a chaplain. Thus 1417 and 1426 are post and ante quem dates for the execution of Masolino's altarpiece. [2] The history of Masolino's panel and its various transfers are given in precise detail in a manuscript dated 1579 by the parish priest of the time (Leonardo Tanci, "Memoriae della chiesa di San Niccolò Oltrarno in Firenze," 1579, Ms. www.nga.gov /collection/gallery/gg4/gg4-24.0-prov.html   (767 words)
