马萨齐奥，蛋彩画，1426年，英国国家美术馆藏，134.8 x 73.5 cm

Just look at this baby Jesus - he is eating grapes (more on that later) but he looks like he is smoking hmm... something. I love it :)

看看这个耶稣宝宝，他正在吃葡萄，但他看起来正在吸烟...之类的。我喜欢它 :)

This was the central panel of a large altarpiece made for the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Pisa. The Virgin’s sturdy form, which looks similar to contemporary Florentine sculpture, casts a shadow against the carved throne. Christ’s body seems fleshy and three-dimensional; Masaccio has done this by showing how certain areas catch the light, painting them with a lighter tone. His ability to represent holy figures as though they were human was innovative and influential.

这是一幅祭坛画的中央画板，位于比萨的卡尔米内圣母大殿。圣母结实的外形看起来与同时代的佛罗伦萨雕塑相似，在雕刻的宝座上投下了阴影。基督的身体看起来有血有肉，具有立体感：马萨齐奥通过使用更浅的色调表现亮面位置实现这一切。他将圣人当做人类来表现的能力非常具有开创性及影响力。

Masaccio also used the new technique of single-point perspective, which helped to make certain objects appear closer and others further away. This is clearest in the ‘V’ shape created by the angle of the angel’s lutes. Christ is shown eating grapes. It’s a reminder of the wine of the Eucharist, which Christians drink in remembrance of the blood Christ shed at his crucifixion, a scene of which would have sat above this image.

马萨齐奥运用了单点透视帮助营造物体之间的远和近。在天使的V型布局中得以体现。画中的基督正在吃著葡萄。反映了圣餐中的葡萄酒，基督徒透过饮用葡萄酒来纪念基督受难时流下的鲜血，这幅画的上方应该是这样的场景。
