Description:Unfortunately, the documents drafted by Sarmiento for the painters have not been found. It looks like God is standing on a ledge at the back of the barrel vault but he is also simultaneously at the front of the vault supporting the crucified Christ. The Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist were the traditional mourners at the crucifixion and Christ was said to have been crucified on top of the tomb of the first man Adam, suggesting an identity to the skeleton at the base of the fresco. The Holy Trinity is commonly referred to as the earliest known example of accurate single point perspective in artwork. In his Holy Trinity, Masaccio was the first individual of the Florentine Renaissance to properly explore the illusionistic potential of this new technique.
