	Tommaso Masaccio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Masaccio was born of parents Giovanni di Mone Cassai and Jacopa di Martinozzo in Castel San Giovanni di Altura, now San Giovanni Valdarno in the Tuscan province of Arezzo.
		In 1424 the "duo preciso e noto" ("well and known duo") of Masaccio and Masolino was commissioned by the powerful and rich Felice Brancacci to execute a cycle of frescoes for the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence.
		On February 19, 1426 Masaccio was commissioned by Giuliano di Colino degli Scarsi, for the sum of 80 florins, a major altarpiece for his chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Pisa.

		His father died in 1406, when Tommaso was only five, and in the same year a brother was born, who was given the name of his dead father: Giovanni.
		Masaccio spent the whole of his childhood and youth in San Giovanni in Altura until, in 1417, he moved to Florence with his mother, once again a widow, and his brother Giovanni.
		In 1428 Masaccio returned to Rome on a commission and died there, in mysterious circumstances, at the very young age of 27, but the great spirit of innovation which he gave live to did not die with him.

		hese words 600 years after the birth of Masaccio (Tommaso was born on 21 December 1401) remember the importance of his genius and its fundamental role in the millenarian history of art.
		Masaccio was modelled on the masters, Giotto, Brunelleschi and Donatello, and was deeply aware of the value of the "New Man" and his existence in society, the meaning of Brunelleschian perspective and Donatello's sense of intense humanity.
		Masaccio was the first Renaissance artist to have grasped and interpreted man's deepest and most mundane reality.

	Masaccio, Tommaso di Giovanni di Simone Guidi
		He was the first painter to apply the scientific laws of perspective, newly discovered by the architect Brunelleschi, and achieved a sense of space and volume that gives his pictures a sculptural quality.
		Marking a return to the style of Giotto, Masaccio's figures have solidity and weight and are clearly set in three-dimensional space.
		Other works by Masaccio are the Trinity about 1428 (Santa Maria Novella, Florence) and the polyptych for the Carmelite church in Pisa in 1426 (divided between National Gallery, London;; Staatliche Museen, Berlin;; Museo di Capodimonte, Naples).

		It is known that Masaccio left for Rome in 1428 or 1429, and disappeared.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Masaccio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Masaccio was very precocious: we find him at the age of nineteen already enrolled among the Speziali (Grocers, or Spicers), one of the "arts", or guilds.
		While Masaccio worked at the paintings in the Brancacci chapel, the church of which it was a part was consecrated: he "represents this ceremony in chiaroscuro over the door leading from the church to the cloister" (Vasari) and introduces a great many portraits of important persons in the group of citizens who follow the procession.
		Masaccio is preached as a "Messias without a Precursor", an "autodidact", a self-teacher, without an ancestor in the past.

		Together with Masaccio (http://www.massaccio.it/html_eng/home.htm), architect Filippo Brunelleschi (http://www.mega.it/eng/egui/pers/fibru.htm) and sculptor Donatello (http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/bio/d/donatell/biograph.html), were the other two founding fathers of the artistic Renaissance.
		Masaccio unfortunately, didn’t live to be very old and all of his incredible works of art were done before 1428, the year in which he died.
		At the same time, I believe that Masaccio’s “Trinity” in Santa Maria Novella Church (right in front of the train station) (http://www.mega.it/eng/egui/monu/smnfcc.htm) is a fundamental stop for those who wish to appreciate the art of our Renaissance - fascinating and yet complex.

	Masaccio 1401-1428
		Masaccio, originally Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone Guidi Cassai, was born December 21, 1401, in San Giovanni in Altura (today it is San Giovanni Valdarno).
		In 1428 Masaccio disappeared from Rome and supposedly died in the autumn from unknown causes.
		The most amazing aspect of this painter is that he only had 10 years to learn his trade, paint all the frescoes he did, and influence many other artists (da Vinci, Michelangelo, Filippo Lippi) before dying at only 27 in 1428.

		IT is a habit of Nature when she makes one man very great in any art, not to make him alone, but at the same time and in the same place to produce another to rival him, that they may aid each other by emulation.
		Yet although his works have always been held in such reputation, it is the firm belief of many that he would have brought forth much greater fruit if death had not carried him off, at the age of twentysix, so suddenly that there were not wanting those who laid it down to poison.
		There are some whom Nature has created little of stature, but with a soul of greatness and a heart of such immeasurable daring that if they do not set themselves to difficult and almost impossible things, and do not complete them to the wonder of those who behold, they have no peace in their lives.

	Florence Art Guide - Masaccio
		Tommaso di ser Giovanni di Mone Cassai (San Giovanni Valdarno 1401- Rome 1428).
		He was extremely young when he came to Florence and was to form part of the circle around Masolino da Panicale, also from his home town and twenty years his senior, though apparently their relationship was not that of teacher and pupil.
		Rather, it seems that the presence of the already brilliant Masaccio, with the introduction of the new rules of perspective and naturalism, was to give new impulse to Masolino's work, which had hitherto tended to keep to late Gothic models.

		Masaccio's brother Giovanni was also an artist; called lo Scheggia (“the Splinter”), he is known…
		His use of light and shadow, the solidity and realism of his figures, and the use of the perspective in his paintings were entirely different from the work of the medieval and late Gothic artists who preceded him.

		The painting by Masaccio of The Tribute Money is part of the fresco cycle of the Life of St. Peter commissioned by Felice Brancacci in 1424 for the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence.
		Here Masaccio using a mirror has painted his own portrait as an apostle, standing at the end, and it is done so well that it is like life.
		Remarkable too is the ardour of St. Peter in his questioning, and the attention of the apostles in their various poses around Christ as they wait for his decision with gestures which are natural and full of life.

	Filippo Lippi: Encyclopedia topic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Fra Filippo Lippi (1406 - October 8?, 1469), commonly called Lippo Lippi, one of the most renowned painters of the Italian quattrocento (quattrocento: The 15th century in Italian art and literature), was born in Florence (Florence: A town in northeast South Carolina; transportation center) ; his father, Tommaso, was a butcher.
		Between 1430 and 1432 he executed some works in the monastery, which were destroyed by a fire in 1771; they are specified by Vasari, and one of them was particularly marked by its resemblance to Masaccio's style.
		Eventually Fra Filippo quitted his convent, but it appears that he was not relieved from some sort of religious vow; in a letter dated in 1439 he speaks of himself as the poorest friar of Florence, and says he is charged with the maintenance of six marriageable nieces.
