"The Tribute Money" Masaccio- 1420's 3-D- The shadow under the archway of the building adds the sense of three dimensionality. Also the folds on the clothing gives the life-like dimension. Focal Point- The focal point seems it would be Jesus, and I think it was meant to be, but I tend to focus on the bright yellow clothing of the man on the right. Contrast- The bright color of the clothing contrast with the dull and gray background. Hue/Color- Obviously the bright colored the robes stand out, but the different hues on the robes help with the three dimensionality. Space- The mountains in the background makes __#|the painting__ more spread out. Also the path in the back is a leading line, so that elongates the piece of art.
