Fresco painting by Masolino in the Brancacci Chapel in the church of Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence. This panel was painted at the same time as the panel depicting the "Explusion of Adam and Eve from Eden" by Masaccio on the opposite wall.

 

Whilst pictorially more pleasing, in comparison to Masaccio animated figures in the 'Explusion', Masolino's figures are more static, and lack expression.
