Art History - Masaccio

I can't believe the things I've seen today. Honestly, sometimes this seems like it's all a dream and I'm walking through the pages of my art history texts. Today we visited the Santa Maria della Carmine church here in Florence. We took a seat inside and began talking about the history of the building. A few minutes later we were led into a small chapel belonging to the Branacci family through a tiny door on the side of the building. I looked around me, and there it was, the 'Tribute Money' (1425) by Masaccio, right next his 'Expulsion of Adam and Eve.' I have been studying and deconstructing these works since I can remember. Seeing them in their original environments and under natural light, as they were intended, was breathtaking.
Later, we trecked over to the Santa Maria Novella church near the studio. Masaccios 'Trinity' (1425) stood infront of us as we entered anither side door. We were speechless. This piece is the first representation of 1 point or linear perspective in art (invented by Brunelleschi). The vanishing point is at the base of the cross. This is another well referenced piece of art in history classes and books, and one that I am more than familiar with, and fascinated by.
