Meeting Benches World art in all forms
The “Tribute Money” is a wonderful pictorial creation of the Italian painter Masaccio http://meetingbenches.com/2015/06/masaccio-14011428-italian-painter-shades-of-giotto-brunelleschi-and-donatello-for-vivid-landscapes-and-figures-perfect/. The fresco, is part of the decoration of the Brancacci Chapel (in the Carmelite church of Santa Maria in Florence). The work was born around 1425, and depicts a scene of the stories of St. Peter. In the fresco, Jesus invites Peter to pay tribute, as requested by a tax collector to enter the city of Capernaum. Visiting Florence, do not forget to go in the Carmelite church of Santa Maria, because it is inside that building you can admire a scene universally recognized as one of the highest expressions of art of the Renaissance. http://www.firenzeturismo.it/en/
