The Holy Trinity by Masaccio was done approximately 1428. It is a superb example of Masaccio’s use of space and perspective. It consists of two levels of unequal height. Christ is represented on the top half‚ in a coffered‚ barrel-vaulted chapel. On one side of him is the Virgin Mary‚ and on the other‚ St. John. Christ himself is supported by God the Father‚ and the Dove of the Holy Spirit rests on Christ’s halo. In front of the pilasters that enframe the chapel kneel the donors (husband and wife)

It was unheard of to actually paint God before this time‚ and painting God in this way also shows Humanism. God was often painted as a singular hand‚ as though God was an abstract force or power. Masaccio transformed the direction of Italian painting‚ and for the first time presented art in a more natural and humanist

There are some types of texture found in the Holy Trinity by Masaccio‚ which are simulated texture and repetition or patterns. In the painting‚ simulated texture is found. Due to the research‚ “simulated texture is the type that is intended to create a realistic illusion of texture and depth in a work of art.” It can be seen from the halos from God Father‚ Jesus Christ‚ Virgin Mary and St. John. There is a halo on the head of each of them. However‚ from the audiences’ eyes‚ the halos look real but
