Masolino (Masolino da Panicale), Italian painter (Florence).
Masolino is best known for his collaboration with Masaccio on the frescoes of the Brancacci chapel in Florence and for his failure to pursue Masaccio's innovations.
В 1424 написал для алтаря Карнесекки во флорентийской церкви Санта Мария Маджоре триптих.
He completed the Santa Maria Maggiore altarpiece after Masaccios death.
Masolino continued to paint in a style that was delicate and ornamental. His colors are flowerlike, his figures elegant but unreal.
They do not seem so much to exist within the painted space as to be placed before it. In the ceiling, colorful tiles, a device used by Masaccio to create perspective lines, are merely decorative and leave space ambiguous.
