Masaccio self portrait in the Brancacci chapel, Santa Maria del Carmine

The same year, 1424, Masaccio and Masolino were painting the Brancacci Chapel in the Church of the Carmine. As always I look for the details that show some personality. Slightly thuggish looking Masaccio self portrait. He died at the age of 27, rumored to have been poisoned by some competing painter. Masolino the shorter man at left, and the jug-eared man Bruneslleschi. The man in the foreground possibly Leon Battista Alberti. They are in the audience of St. Peter enthroned.
