The result of a pioneering technical examination, this fresh look at the painting techniques of Masolino and Massaccio sheds new light on the life, oeuvre, and working methods of two great masters of early Renaissance Italy. In addition to technical revelations, including examples of Masaccio's underdrawing and Masolino's innovative use of oil mediums, the study reveals a greater understanding of the nature of the collaboration of the two artists and the chronology of their works. All technical information has been correlated to art-historical concerns regarding early Renaissance art such as the role of the guilds; the nature of collaboration between artists and craftsmen such as carpenters and guilders; and the relationship between patron and artist, showing how a detailed technical study can answer questions that have previously been the purview of art historians alone. Also discussed are the vicissitudes and reconstruction of the Pisa altarpiece, and the artists' final collaboration on the Santa Maria Maggiore altarpiece. A glossary defining the many technical terms is also included.
