Masaccio (Tommaso di Ser Giovanni Cassai), and Masolino (Tommaso di Cristoforo Fini) also called Masolino da Panicale.
Egg tempera, oil, tooled gold, and silver on wood panel with vertical grain.
This painting comes from a two-sided altarpiece once in the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. It is generally thought that the great Renaissance master Masaccio designed and begain painting this panel before he died at 27. Masolino, with whom Macaccio had collaborated before, finished his young colleague's work.
