Following my post yesterday on finding Donatello and Masaccio in Pisa, I was also delighted to encounter a very fine panel by Masaccio at the Museo Nationale di San Matteo in that city.

What makes the experience of viewing the Masaccio painting even richer is the didactic labels that accompany the work, showing its original placement within an elaborate altarpiece. The altarpiece is dismantled today and many part of it are in different cities/countries, but Pisa is proud to own this impressive work.
