The Tribute Money, fresco in the Brancacci Chapel in Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence, 1425.
The Tribute Money is one of Masaccio's most famous frescoes from the Brancacci Chapel. Jesus and his apostles are depicted as neo-classical archetypes. The shadows of the figures fall away from the chapel window, as if the figures are lit by it; this is an added stroke of verisimilitude and shows Masaccio's innovative genius.
