Masaccio’s majestic fresco of the Trinity, painted around 1426-27, which you can admire inside the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, is the pictorial work that best summarises the important achievements of the early Renaissance.
It is the last work created by Masaccio, who died at the age of 27 in 1428, in which the artist establishes the proportion between God and men not on the basis of hierarchical criteria but on the basis of perspective. Therefore, the objective of the representation is no longer only allegorical, as the representation of reality and the description of the spiritual world coexist in this painting.
Here I take you on a discovery of Masaccio’s great masterpiece.
