He was born on 21 December 1401 in San Giovanno di Valdarno in the Arno Valley. His nickname Masaccio, the Massive or the Colossus, refers not only to his size and corpulence, but the artist must also have been of exuberant temperament, very loud and domineering. About his family we only know that his father was a notary. He died when the son was 5 years old. At the age of 16 the young Masaccio went to Florence to be apprenticed to the then very famous painter Masolino, and in 1422 he became a member of the painters' guild there. He learned the theory of perspective from the famous Italian architect Brunelleschi and the realistic representation of human figures from the also very famous sculptor Donatello. Both helped him especially in his frescoes, which show very lifelike figures and depth, a very new and modern way of painting for that time. Therefore, Tommaso Masaccio had a great influence on Renaissance art.
Among the most famous works of Tommaso Masaccio is the fresco "Trinity" in the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. The coffin beneath the fresco depicts the first perfectly anatomically correct human skeleton ever painted by an artist. And this long before Leonardo da Vinci became famous for it. Together with his teacher Masolino, Tommaso Masaccio created a fresco cycle in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence about the story of creation and the life of Saint Peter. There are also the famous paintings "The Interest" "The Expulsion from Paradise" and a self-portrait of the artist. Because Masolino also stayed longer in Budapest as a court painter during this period, most of the frescoes in Santa Maria del Carmine are probably by Masaccio.
In 1428, Pope Martin V summoned Masolino to Rome and Tommaso Masaccio followed him there. Both artists began painting a cycle of frescoes on the life of Saint Catherine of Alexandria in the church of San Clemente in Rome. During this work Tommaso died in the same year under unexplained circumstances at the age of only 27. Presumably he had contracted the plague. However, there is also talk that a rival painter may have poisoned him.
Although Tommaso Masaccio died so young, he was one of the very great artists of his time. Although only a few works exist today that are quite undoubtedly and proven to be from his hand, many are attributed to him in whole or at least in part.
