12 The Release of St Peter
Masolino's Temptation of
Adam and Eve is gentle
and decorous,
in contrast with the
emotional force of
Masaccio's painting
on the opposite wall.
St Peter is depicted
against a background
of Florentine
buildings.
Woman in a Turban
The freshness of Masaccio's
original colours is seen in
this rediscovered roundel,
hidden behind the altar
for 500 years.
Two Figures
Masolino's work is painstakingly
decorative in contrast with
Masaccio's simpler style.
Before the Proconsul
Filippino Lippi was called in to complete the unfinished
cycle of frescoes in 1480. He added this emotional scene
showing the Proconsul sentencing St Peter to death.
