Ranked by many scholars as the greatest master of early Italian
Renaissance painting, Masaccio (1401-1428) was the first artist to
use effects of light to create three-dimensional images on a
two-dimensional plane. This achievement, revolutionary in
Masaccio's day, is one of the painter's significant contributions
to art history.
This book explores Masaccio's accomplishment as epitomized by the
multipaneled painting of which the Saint Andrew panel is thought to
have once formed a part: the Pisa Altarpiece, one of the truly
great polyptychs in the history of Italian Renaissance art,
produced in 1426 for a chapel in the church of Santa Maria del
Carmine, Pisa.
The text discusses Masaccio's short life and illustrious career;
the commission for the altarpiece; its patron and program; the
painting's original location; and the role that the church friars
played in the actual commission. Finally, after examining the
polyptych's individual panels, the book traces their subsequent
history and recounts how art historians came to identify them.
