Masaccio
Holy Trinity, fresco by Masaccio, 1425–26, in the Church of Santa Maria Novella, Florence.
Masaccio’s Holy Trinity fresco, located in the Church of Santa Maria Novella, was painted between approximately 1425 and 1427.12
It is widely considered the artist's final work in Florence and is recognized as the first major painting to systematically employ one-point linear perspective. By utilizing this technique, Masaccio created a realistic, three-dimensional architectural space that aligns with the viewer's eye level, reflecting the rational and human-centered artistic vision he shared with the architect Filippo Brunelleschi.12
