Masolino da Panicale

Years of life:	1383 – 1447
Art Movement:	Gothic Art, Early Renaissance
Painting School:	Florentine School

Genre:	Religious
Country:	Italy
Century:	XV

Masolino was recognized as an outstanding painter, although now he is best remembered as a collaborator of Masaccio. Thanks to his working with the sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti, Masolino was able to achieve the weightiness and volume of the figures through modeling. Also, he was able to outline the spatial depth of composition, but essentially remained a master of decorative, flat painting.

Masolino’s major works are Madonna of Humility,c. 1415–20 (Florence: Galleria degli Uffizi); St. John the Evangelist and St. Martin of Tours, c. 1423 (Philadelphia: Museum of Art); St. Liberius and St. Matthias, c. 1428 (London: National Gallery).
