I think Masaccio gave the Renaissance viewer a new interest to linear perspective. From viewing the videos you can really get a closer look on what techniques he used and the Holy Trinity masterpiece looks like it took a lot of patience and dedication. A Renaissance viewer would be fascinated and delighted to see Masaccio’s painting. This vanishing point experiment gives an audience a new illusion and dimension of making a painting more realistic. I feel that the linear perspective method has become an assist for Renaissance viewers and many emerging artists. More ideas and creations would grow like how Masaccio was able to use Brunelleschi’s theory to create this amazing technique.
How a Renaissance viewer may depict Masaccio’s painting.

One thing I noticed about Masaccio creation is that it is really based on religion, not that there is something wrong with it. Since the renaissance had a little bit of Greek art mixed with their art, they may not see it as a big deal since it isn’t up to date with Michelangelo’s art but it did have a linear perspective included in Masaccio’s painting, which isn’t something that people normally see so I guess they would really enjoy it.
