Masaccio, an Italian artist born in 1401, was one of the first painters to use scientific perspective in his art. Associated with the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance, he transitioned from a Gothic style to a more realistic and natural approach. In his Holy Trinity fresco (above), the clear use of a centered vanishing point and the overlapping of figures in the foreground establish a convincing sense of space and direct the eye to the figure of Christ.
