Virgin and Child (paintings, panel (paintings by form); Masaccio (1401 - 1428/9?); executed in 1426; National Gallery (London, Greater London, England, United Ki...; NG3046) | |
Note: The painting is the central panel of a large winged altar executed for a chapel of the Carmelite Church in Pisa. The Virgin’s sturdy form, which looks similar to contemporary Florentine sculpture, casts a shadow against the carved throne. Christ’s body seems fleshy and three-dimensional; Masaccio has done this by showing how certain areas catch the light, painting them with a lighter tone. His ability to represent holy figures as though they were human was innovative and influential. | |
