Masaccio (Tommaso di Ser Giovanni Cassai)Italian (active Florence and Rome), 1401 - 1428/29
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 began painting this panel before he died at age 27. Masolino, with whom Masaccio had collaborated before, finished his young colleague's work.
