Description
Directions:
First, read and watch the following videos and texts.
Masaccio, The Tribute Money (Video, Smarthistory)
How One Point Linear Perspective Works (Video, Khan Academy)
- Masaccio’s Holy Trinity, 1427, Fresco (Video, Smarthistory)
Then, please answer each of the following short answer questions:
- How does Masaccio employ one point-linear perspective in both The Holy Trinity and The Tribute Money?
The figures outside the triumphal arch in The Holy Trinity are the wealth patrons of the fresco. This is one of the first times that a contemporary, non-biblical, person was represented inside a church. Do you think churches are right to include wealth donors in their holy imagery? What might wealthy folks gain from representing themselves inside the church?
