| Expulsion |
According to Vassari, it was Masaccio who realized that good
style is “Imitating all the living things of nature with simple colours and
design just as nature produced them.” Masaccio was always trying to create the
most lifelike figures and the most similar to reality that it almost became an
obsession. His outlines and paintings stood out so differently that they can be
compared to any modern work of art. For example his Expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden shows so much genuineness in
the expression and movement of the characters that you almost feel what they
are feeling. In my opinion that is something every artist should strive for and
that is why Masaccio is such a great master of naturalism.
