Note 31 — Chapter III · MASACCIO AND THE NEW REALISM
Reading edition
Masolino-Masaccio. The summary in C. & C. (Douglas) Vol. IV; (Hutton), Vol. II, reasonably brings the controversy up to date. The latest review is by Dr. Richard Offner, Art in America, Vol. VIII, pp. 68–76, A St. Jerome by Masolino. Dr. Offner, in Dedalo, Mar., 1923, publishes a fine St. Julian, by Masolino, which reveals in a new light that artist’s romantic temperamentalism. Mr. Berenson, l. c., publishes a predella piece for the same panel.
The large album of plates accompanying August H. Schmarsow’s Masaccio, der Begründer des Klassischen Stils &c. Kassel, 1900, is indispensable to the serious student. It is available in the great libraries. Cuts of all the works involved in the controversy are more readily attainable in P. Toesca’s Masolino da Panicale, Bergamo, 1908, and in Venturi, Storia, Vol. VII, pt. I.
