# Pietà [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MASOLINO da Panicale]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Fresco, 280 x 118 cm ## Commentary Masolino, who is often regarded as Masaccio's teacher, belonged to the generation of Gentile da Fabriano and Lorenzo Monaco. He sought to accommodate himself to the innovations that were proposed by Brunelleschi and Donatello, but was never at ease with them. For example his use of perspective always left something to be desired. History has placed him in the shadow of Masaccio, whom he outlived by many years. ## Related artworks - [Annunciation to Zacharias \(detail\)]() - [Conversion and Beheading of Empress Faustina]() - [Crucifixion \(altar wall\)]() - [Crucifixion \(altar wall\)]() - [Feast of Herod \(detail\)]() - [Feast of Herod \(detail\)]() - [Founding of Santa Maria Maggiore]() - [Frescoes in the Cappella Brancacci \(right view\)]() - [God the Father Surrounded by Angels \(detail\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha \(left view\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha \(right view\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
