The 10 most famous Masaccio paintings

Treenigheden (1428) af Masaccio
1

Treenigheden

1428 · Fresco

Treenigheden af Masaccio var et banebrydende værk, der introducerede flere kunstneriske innovationer. Det er et af de første monumentale renæssancemalerier, der benytter lineærperspektiv, hvilket skaber en overvældende fornemmelse af dybde og rumlighed. Gennem en mesterlig brug af chiaroscuro og sfumato-teknikker tilføjes der volumen og tekstur til figurerne, hvilket får dem til at fremstå med en næsten skræmmende realisme.

Betalingspengene (1425) af Masaccio

Betalingspengene

1425 · Fresco

Scenen udfolder sig i Brancacci-kapellet i basilikaen Santa Maria del Carmine i Firenze. Her bringer freskoen med titlen Betalingspengene af Masaccio en bibelsk fortælling til live på kapellets vægge. Dette værk, bestilt af Felice Brancacci, udgør en væsentlig del af en større cyklus dedikeret til Sankt Peters liv. Luften i kapellet synes at bære vægten af denne hellige historie, idet figurerne bevæger sig gennem et øjeblik af dyb betydning.

Her ånder væggene med fortællingen om Uddrivelsen fra Paradiset, en fresco malet af Masaccio omkring 1425. Luften synes at fortættes omkring figurerne, idet de står over for deres pludselige, irreversible udvisning fra paradiset. Denne scene markerer begyndelsen på en større fortælling og fungerer som den første fresco i en serie…

Rendering af Tribute Money (detalje)

Fresco

Denne fængslende detalje stammer fra Masaccios banebrydende fresko, ”Tribute Money”, et skelsættende værk i Brancacci-kapellet i Firenze. Maleriet, der blev udført omkring 1426, repræsenterer et vendepunkt i vestlig kunst, hvor man bevægede sig væk fra den gotiske periodes stiliserede konventioner mod en ny æra præget af naturalisme og humanistisk udtryk.

About Masaccio

Masaccio (1401-1428): Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone – Pionjeren af Renæssancens Realisme

Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone Guidi Cassai, bedre kendt som Masaccio (født 21. december 1401 i San Giovanni Valdarno nær Firenze og død efter sommeren 1428 i Rom), regnes sammen med Giotto blandt de vigtigste italienske malere i den tidlige renæssance. Sammen med Masolino malede Masaccio 1425-1428 freskerne i Santa Maria del Carmine i Firenze med motiver fra apostlen Peters liv. Masaccios karriere blev ikke lang – han døde 27 år gammel – men realismen og centralperspektivet fik stor indflydelse på kunsthistorien og satte nye standarder for hvordan menneskeligheden skulle repræsenteres i kunsten. Selvom hans korte liv var præget af tragedie, er Masaccio’s betydning som kunstner ubestridelig og hans værker fortsætter med at fascinere kunstnere og forskere verden over.

Tidligt Liv og Uddannelse

Masaccio blev født i Castel San Giovanni di Valdarno, mellem Firenze og Arezzo, omkring 40 kilometer sydøst for Firenze. Hans far var Ser Giovanni di Mone Cassai, en notar, og hans mor, Monna Iacopa, var søn af en værtshusinde. Masaccio’s bror Giovanni var også kunstner; han blev kendt som Lo Scheggia (“den Splinter”), og selvom han kun signe
