Document Summary

11/17 lecture - italian renaissance: rebirth of antiquity, painting 1st half of 15th. In nature, parallel lines appear to converge in the distance. Objects in the background should appear smaller to create depth. Christ is gesturing to peter about when a roman tax collector came to collect tax. Christ is telling peter that he will find the money for a tax. Painted for a prominent citizen in florence, brancacci. The saint - peter - is displayed several times. The center group is the focus of the narrative. The scene is called a continuous narrative. Shows 3 moments in a single, unified setting. During the siege of florence, the city had introduced a property tax to finance the war - parallels our modern tax system. A circle of space has been constructed around christ - a concept of depth. Background of an extensive view into the mountains. Foreshortening - particularly in the halos that hover over each figure.
