it seems that masaccio and masolino happily planned a scheme of frescoes that went together is a pleasing way, even though they are in two styles. it is not hard to tell which scenes masolino painted and which were done by masaccio. masolino's are prettier and more elegant. masaccio's scenes show figures that are strong and have drapes like the statues that he saw in rome. the thing that was most different in his painting to other artists of the same time was that the figures looked very solid and three-dimensional. he was influenced by the paintings of giotto who had worked in florence at the "church of santa croce" nearly a hundred years earlier, but whose style of painting had given way to the international gothic style.
