''Tribute Money'' is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Masaccio, located in the Brancacci Chapel of the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. Painted in the 1420s, this seminal work is part of a larger narrative cycle depicting the life of St. Peter. The ''Tribute Money'', which is one of the most famous and influential paintings of the Early Renaissance, illustrates a scene from the Gospel of Matthew (17:24–27) in which Jesus directs Peter to find a coin in the mouth of a fish in order to pay the temple tax.

Masaccio's mastery of perspective and chiaroscuro can be seen in the realistic depiction of the figures and the three-dimensional space. The fresco is particularly noted for its use of linear perspective, a technique that was still novel at the time, which Masaccio employed to create a convincing architectural setting that recedes into the background. The vanishing point is at Christ's head, emphasizing the spiritual focus of the scene.

The ''Tribute Money'' is also remarkable for its narrative clarity and the psychological depth of its characters. Masaccio's figures are imbued with a sense of weight and gravity, as well as a naturalism that was unprecedented in Italian painting. The fresco's composition is harmonious and balanced, with the grouping of figures around Jesus forming a calm center in the midst of the surrounding activity.

The fresco has been widely studied and admired, and it has had a profound influence on later generations of artists, including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Its innovative approach to composition, light, and space represents a significant departure from the Gothic style that dominated the preceding centuries, marking a pivotal moment in the development of Western art.

The ''Tribute Money'' is not only a masterpiece of religious art but also a reflection of the humanist principles that were emerging during the Renaissance, emphasizing the importance of the human figure, the natural world, and the scientific principles that govern them both. Its enduring legacy is a testament to Masaccio's genius and his brief but impactful career.
