MASOLINO DA PANICALE (1383—c. 1445) , Florentine painter, was said to have been See also:born at Panicale di Valdelsa, near See also:Florence. It is more probable, however, that he was born in Florence itself, his See also:father, Cristoforo Fini, who was an " imbiancatore," or whitewasher, having been domiciled in the Florentine See also:quarter of S. Croce. There is See also:reason to believe that Tommaso, nick-named Masolino, was a See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil of the painter Stamina, and was principally influenced in See also:style by See also:Antonio Veneziano; he may probably enough have become in the sequel the See also:master of See also:Masaccio. He was born in 1383; he died later than 1429, perhaps as See also:late as 1440 or even 1447. Towards 1423 he entered the service of Filippo Scolari, the Florentine-born obergespann of Temeswar in See also:Hungary, and stayed some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time in that See also:country, returning towards 1427 to See also:Italy. The only See also:works which can with certainty be assigned to him are a See also:series of See also:wall paintings executed towards 1428, commissioned by See also:Cardinal Branda See also:Castiglione, in the See also:- CHURCH

The reputation of Masolino had previously rested almost entirely upon the considerable See also:share which hewas supposed to have had in the celebrated frescoes of the Brancacci See also:Chapel, in the Church of the See also:Carmine in Florence; he was regarded as the precursor of Masaccio, and by many years the predecessor of Filippino See also:Lippi, in the See also:execution of a large proportion of these works. But from a comparison of the Castiglione with the Brancacci frescoes, and from other data, it is very doubtful whether Masolino had any See also:hand at all in the latter series. Possibly he painted in the Brancacci Chapel certain specified subjects which are now either destroyed or worked over. Several paintings assigned to Masolino on the authority of See also:Vasari are now ascribed to Masaccio. (W. M.
