Trinita

Artist:Masaccio Date:1245~1428

In this painting,Masaccio use the perspective to paint and the paint is very symmetry,cross at the center,slowly opening to radiation.The bottlom of the cross has a sarcophagus,and sarcophagus inscribed I once was what you are and what I am you also will be"

When I see this painting,I find some interesting thing is the real church's chapel is very big,but in this painting the church's chapel is very small,I think this is church attached to the chapel.

This statue is Renaissance's work and this work is from Donatello.This work was round sculpture erected outside the building 's work.This work the most striking parts of his body was copper.At his feet had a big giant head,because he defeated the big giant and cuted his head.He was smiling because he beat the giants.

When I saw this sculpture,I think in history if you can beat a giant,it was very glory.I feel David's body's muscle curve was very beautiful and solid.
