jan 1, 1422 - The San Giovenale Triptych 1422, made by Masaccio by using paints on panel. The central panel shows the Madonna enthroned with two angels and the child Jesus eating vine, as a symbol of the Eucharist. The left panel depicts Saint Bartholomew and Saint Blaise, and the right panel depicts Saint Anthony and Saint Juvenal (Giovenale). The complex perspective of the centre panel would have been something new for its time. The use of three-dimensional solidity makes the painting revolutionary for its time.
