1424-1427 Fresco
Brancicci Chapel, Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence, Italy
8'4"x 19'7"
This image depicts the Gospel of Matthew when the tax collector speaks to Jesus at the entrance of Capernaum. On the right side we see Jesus telling Saint Peter to go to Gailelee and on the left side we see Peter finding the coin for taxes in the mouth of the fish.
Artistically, I noticed there was one light source and plenty of Aerial and Linear perspectives. The mountains, trees and the beach are not as bright or as clearly defined as the people surrounding Jesus in the center. This is a good example of how Aerial perspective is displayed.
