Question

Look at Tribute Money from the Brancacci Chapel. Which feature of this

painting contributes to the drama of the piece? A. The hand gesture of Jesus
B. The contrast between light and darkness
C. The bright clothing
D. The stormy background

Answer 1

The contrast between light and darkness contributes to the drama of the Tribute Money painting.

Step-by-step explanation:

The feature of the Tribute Money painting that contributes to the drama of the piece is the contrast between light and darkness. Masaccio uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a spotlight effect, emphasizing certain figures and creating a sense of drama. The dark shadows next to areas of bright illumination create a dramatic effect and draw the viewer's attention to the foreground figures.

Answer 2

I think it’s either B or D i’m not sure. but it makes sense because the background is stormy and it might have inflicted the feelings of the people in the picture, but also B because the people are wearing light clothing and the darkness is the storm behind them.
