The Polyptych, written in 1426 for the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Pisa, is the only documented work by Masaccio. The polyptych was commissioned by a notary gray Julian di Colino degli Scarcy for the church of his heavenly patron, St. Julian.
In the first and second editions of the book “The Lives of the Most Famous Painters”, Vasari described the polyptychs of Masaccio in detail, but later, probably in the 16th century, the altar was pulled down.
Many panels were lost, and eleven of them – about half – settled in various meetings. The most famous among the surviving fragments of polyptychs are the paintings “Crucifixion” and “Crucifixion of Peter and the decapitation of John the Baptist”.
