Masolino da Panicale is the gentle beginning, the Florentine painter of the early fifteenth century whose soft, sweet, and luminous art stands at the threshold of the Renaissance, and who was the teacher and the companion of the young Masaccio, whose revolutionary realism was to transform the painting of the age. Born around 1383 in Panicale, he trained in Florence in the late Gothic style, and he worked in Florence, in Rome, in Empoli, and in Castiglione Olona, where his frescoes are among the most beautiful of the early Quattrocento. His great works, the frescoes of the Brancacci Chapel in Florence, where he painted the scenes of the Temptation of Adam and Eve and of the healing of the lame man alongside the frescoes of the young Masaccio, the frescoes of the baptistery of Castiglione Olona, with the scenes of the life of the Virgin and of Saint John the Baptist, and the altarpieces, above all the beautiful Annunciation of San Niccolò, are built on a soft and sweet beauty: the figures are gentle and elegant, the colors are fresh and clear, the light is even and serene, and the whole art is the world of the gentle and of the graceful, in contrast with the powerful and the dramatic realism of his companion Masaccio. Masolino died around 1447. His art, so gentle and so sweet, is the proof that the beginning of the Renaissance was not only the art of the power and of the realism, but also the art of the grace and of the tenderness, and that the gentle master, with his sweet figures and his serene light, stands beside the great Masaccio at the threshold of the new age.

Benozzo Gozzoli is the painter of the journey of the Magi, the Florentine master of the fifteenth century whose great fresco of the Journey of the Magi in the chapel of the Medici Palace is one of the most beautiful and most splendid images of the early Renaissance, and whose art is the chronicle of the pageantry and the piety of Florence. Born around 1421 in Florence, he was the pupil and the assistant of Fra Angelico, with whom he worked on the frescoes of the convent of San Marco and on the frescoes of the chapel of Nicholas V in the Vatican, and he became one of the most active fresco painters of the age, working in Florence, in Rome, in Montefalco, and in Pisa. His great works, above all the Journey of the Magi of the chapel of the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, in which the three kings ride through the Tuscan landscape with their splendid retinue, their horses, their dogs, their falcons, and their servants, and in which the faces of the riders are the portraits of the Medici family and of their court, are built on a splendor and a delight that are unique: the colors are rich and glowing, the costumes are the brocades and the silks of the age, the landscape is full of the castles, the forests, and the hills, and the whole fresco is a vast procession of the beauty and the joy of the Florentine world. Gozzoli worked until his death in 1497 in Pistoia, and his later works, above all the frescoes of the Camposanto of Pisa with the scenes of the Old Testament, are among the most extensive of the century. His art, so splendid and so joyful, is the proof that the sacred procession could be the pageant of the city, and that the Journey of the Magi, painted in the chapel of the Medici, could hold the whole splendor and the whole delight of the Florentine Renaissance.

Domenico Ghirlandaio is the chronicler of Florence, the master of the late fifteenth century who painted the great fresco cycles of the churches of the city as the portraits of the life, the families, and the piety of his age, and who was the teacher of the young Michelangelo. Born in 1449 in Florence, the son of a goldsmith, he trained as a painter and became the most successful fresco painter of the city, working in the churches of Florence, above all in Santa Maria Novella, Santa Trinita, and the Sistine Chapel in Rome, where he painted the scenes of the life of Christ and of Saint John. His great cycles, the frescoes of the Sassetti Chapel with the scenes of the life of Saint Francis, the frescoes of the Tornabuoni Chapel with the life of the Virgin and of Saint John the Baptist, and the Last Supper of the refectory of San Marco, are the chronicle of the Florentine world: the sacred scenes are set in the palaces and the piazzas of Florence, the spectators are the portraits of the patrons and their families, the women wear the jewels and the brocades of the city, and the whole art is a vast, loving record of the life of the city at its richest. Ghirlandaio was a master of the fresco, of the portrait, and of the narrative, and his workshop trained the young Michelangelo, who learned from him the craft of the painting. He died in 1494 in Florence. His art, so rich and so documentary, is the proof that the sacred painting can be the chronicle of the world, and that the frescoes of the Florentine churches can hold the portraits and the life of the whole city of Florence.

Fra Angelico, the Blessed Angelico, is the most radiant of the early Renaissance masters, the Dominican friar of Florence who painted the Annunciations, the Coronations, and the sacred scenes of his convent with a light and a tenderness that made him the painter of Paradise itself. Born Guido di Pietro around 1395, he entered the convent of San Marco in Florence, and his whole life was the service of his faith through the art: the frescoes of the cells of San Marco, above all the Annunciations that greet the friar in each cell, the great altarpieces of the churches of Florence, the Coronation of the Virgin, the Descent from the Cross, and the Last Judgment, are among the most beautiful sacred paintings of the century. Angelico's art is the art of the light and the gold: the colors are luminous and clear, the saints are serene and humble, the angels play their instruments, the Virgin kneels in her cell of light, and the whole picture is suffused with a radiance that seems to come from another world. He painted with a pure and simple faith, and his contemporaries called him the angelic painter, and he was beatified by the Church, the only painter of the Renaissance to be so honored. He worked in Florence, in Fiesole, in Cortona, and in Rome, where he painted the chapel of Pope Nicholas V, and he died in Rome in 1455. His art, at once the most devout and the most beautiful of the early Renaissance, is the proof that the painter can be a saint and that the art can be a prayer, and his Paradise, with its golden light and its dancing saints, remains the most radiant image of the heavenly joy that the Renaissance has left us.

Giovanni Bellini is the father of Venetian painting, the master who gave the city its light, its color, and its poetry, and whose long career carried the art of Venice from the Middle Ages into the full splendor of the Renaissance. Born around 1430 in Venice, the son of the painter Jacopo and the brother of Gentile, he trained in the family workshop, but he transformed the inheritance of the Byzantine and the Gothic into a new art of light and air. His early Madonnas and his great altarpieces of the churches of Venice, above all the altarpiece of San Giobbe and the Frari triptych, with its glorious enthroned Madonna, established the Venetian altarpiece as a vision of golden light; his paintings of the Pietà and of the dead Christ, above all the Pietà of the Brera and the Blood of the Redeemer, are among the most moving images of the sorrow of the Virgin ever painted; and his late works, the great altarpiece of San Zaccaria, the Feast of the Gods, and the portraits of the doges and the nobles, show the full mastery of the oil glazes and the luminous color that he had learned from the Flemish and that he passed to Giorgione and to Titian. Bellini was the teacher of the whole Venetian school, and his workshop was the school of the greatest masters of the city, and he worked until his death in 1516, at more than eighty years of age. His landscapes, his Madonnas, and his portraits are the foundation of the Venetian dream, and his light, at once natural and divine, made him the true father of the art of the city of the sea, the master who taught Venice to paint the light of the lagoon.

Francisco de Zurbarán is the painter of the Spanish cloister, the master of the monks, the saints, and the still lifes of the Counter-Reformation, whose severe, luminous art is among the most spiritual in the history of painting. Born in 1598 in Fuente de Cantos, in Extremadura, he trained in Seville, and he became the favorite painter of the religious orders, the Dominicans, the Franciscans, the Carthusians, and the Jesuits, who commissioned him to paint the saints and the scenes of their orders in the great cycles of the 1630s. His paintings are the images of faith made visible: the martyrs and the ascetics, the friars in their white and brown habits, the crucified Christ, the Virgin in her glory, painted with a gravity and a stillness that seem to stop time, the figures emerging from the dark backgrounds with a light that is at once physical and divine. Zurbarán is also one of the greatest still-life painters of all time: his still lifes of the pots, the lemons, the oranges, the cups, and the flowers, arranged on the bare table, are painted with a severity and a radiance that make the humble objects sacred, the geometry of the forms and the clarity of the light holding the silence of the cloister. He worked for the great monasteries and convents of Seville and of Spanish America, and his reputation, which rivaled that of Velázquez in his lifetime, faded after his death, to be revived in the twentieth century, when the Cubists and the surrealists admired the strange, sculptural power of his forms. He died in 1664, and his saints and his pots, so plain and so profound, remain the most direct images of the Spanish soul, the art of a faith that saw God in the light of the ordinary.

Masaccio is the father of modern painting, the Florentine master who in his brief life of twenty-seven years gave painting the weight, the light, and the space of the real world, and whose frescoes changed the course of Western art. Born Tommaso di Ser Giovanni in 1401 in San Giovanni Valdarno, he came to Florence as a young man, where he worked with the architect Brunelleschi and the sculptor Donatello, and he absorbed the two great discoveries of the age, the linear perspective and the new sense of the body, and he carried them into painting with a power that no one before him had matched. His great works, the frescoes of the Brancacci Chapel in Florence, painted with Masolino between 1424 and 1427, the Expulsion from Paradise, the Tribute Money, the Raising of the Son of Theophilus, are the first paintings in which the figures stand on the ground with a real weight, in which the light falls from a single source with a real direction, and in which the space recedes with a real depth. Masaccio's figures, above all the Adam and Eve of the Expulsion, walking out of paradise in their naked shame, the light from the door of the chapel falling on their bodies, are the most moving and the most monumental of the early Renaissance, and his Trinity, painted on the wall of Santa Maria Novella, with the Father, the Son, and the dove above the tomb, is the first perfect demonstration of the perspective in painting. He died in Rome, probably in 1428, still a young man, and his influence, on the whole Florentine school, on Leonardo, on Michelangelo, and on the entire tradition of the Renaissance, was incalculable. Masaccio, in his few years, taught painting to stand, to breathe, and to see, and his frescoes remain the foundation of the modern art.

Michelangelo Buonarroti is remembered as the greatest sculptor of the Renaissance, but he was also one of the greatest painters in the history of art, the artist who covered the ceiling and the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel with images that have never been surpassed. Born in 1475 in Caprese, he trained in Florence in the workshop of Ghirlandaio, and he came to Rome as a young man, where the pope Julius II, impatient and imperious, forced him, against his will, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between 1508 and 1512. Lying on his back on the scaffolding, he painted the nine scenes of Genesis, the Creation, the Fall, the Flood, surrounded by the prophets, the sibyls, the ancestors of Christ, and the ignudi, the naked youths who frame the central scenes, and he filled the whole with a grandeur of form, a power of foreshortening, and a muscular energy that made the chapel the manifesto of the High Renaissance. Twenty-five years later, in 1536, he returned to paint the Last Judgment on the altar wall, the swirling mass of the saved and the damned, the risen Christ like an athlete of wrath, which shocked his contemporaries with its nudes and its power. Michelangelo painted the human body as the image of God, and his figures, carved in paint, are the most heroic and the most tragic in Western art. He died in 1564 at the age of eighty-eight, and his ceiling, restored in the late twentieth century to its original brilliant colors, remains the most visited and the most moving painting in the world, the proof that a sculptor's hand could paint the ceiling of heaven.

Paolo Veronese was the painter of splendor, the Venetian master whose enormous canvases of feasts, palaces, and triumphs are the most sumptuous images of the Renaissance. Born Paolo Caliari in Verona in 1528, he trained there and then, in his early twenties, settled in Venice, where the light, the water, and the pomp of the republic found in him their perfect painter. His great decorative cycles, the frescoes of the Villa Barbaro, the ceilings of the Doge's Palace, and above all the huge feast paintings, the Wedding at Cana and the Supper in the House of Levi, fill their surfaces with architecture, music, servants, dogs, and dwarfs, a world of gorgeous color and limitless abundance. Veronese painted the sacred as a Venetian spectacle, and his Supper in the House of Levi, with its soldiers, its drunkards, and its exotic animals, so offended the Inquisition that he was summoned to explain, and his famous defense, that painters take the same license as poets, became a landmark in the history of artistic freedom. His color is the most brilliant of the Venetian school, the silvers, the golds, the rose, and the turquoise arranged in great chords, and his compositions, with their balustrades, their columns, and their wide, airy spaces, open the picture like a stage. He died in 1588, leaving Venice its most festive image of itself, and his splendor passed into the Baroque and into the art of every later painter who loved the joy of color, from Rubens to Tiepolo.

Mary Cassatt was the American painter who brought Impressionism across the Atlantic and made the intimate bond between mother and child the central subject of her art. Born in 1844 in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and then, against the opposition of her family, went to Paris, where she stayed for the rest of her life. Introduced to Degas in 1877, she joined the Impressionist exhibitions and quickly became one of the movement's most assured members, but her subject matter was her own: women reading, sewing, at the opera, at the theater, and above all mothers bathing, dressing, and holding their children. Cassatt painted with a firmness that banished all sentimentality, the flesh solid, the color fresh, the composition learned from Japanese prints, which she helped introduce to the West. In her famous series of mothers and children, begun in the 1890s, the figures are close, monumental, and calm, and the bond between them is conveyed not by gesture alone but by the weight and touch of the paint. She also worked brilliantly in pastel and in the graphic arts, and her prints are among the finest of the age. As a woman artist she had to fight the academy, the market, and public prejudice, and she did so with a sharpness that became legendary. Cassatt died in 1926, and her vision of motherhood, modern, unsentimental, and full of love, remains one of the great achievements of American art.
