''The Tribute Money'' is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Masaccio, also known as Tommaso di Giovanni di Simone Cassai. Painted around 1425, it is part of the decorations of the Brancacci Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, Italy. This work is one of the most famous and influential of Masaccio's career, showcasing his mastery of perspective, chiaroscuro, and the human form, which were revolutionary in the early 15th century.

The fresco depicts a narrative from the Gospel of Matthew (17:24–27) in which Jesus directs the apostle Peter to find a coin in the mouth of a fish in order to pay the temple tax, thus addressing the issue of the civic duty of Christians. Masaccio's composition is remarkable for its spatial coherence, achieved through the use of linear perspective, a technique that was still novel at the time. The vanishing point is at Christ's head, emphasizing his divine role in the narrative.

The figures in ''The Tribute Money'' are rendered with a sculptural solidity and a naturalism that were unprecedented, reflecting Masaccio's studies of classical sculpture and his observations of the natural world. The fresco is also noted for its use of light and shadow to create a sense of three-dimensionality, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Masaccio was among the first to use effectively in painting.

''The Tribute Money'' is not only a masterpiece of religious art but also a seminal work in the development of Renaissance art, influencing countless artists who followed. Its narrative, technical innovations, and humanistic approach mark a departure from the Gothic style that dominated European art prior to the Renaissance, making it a key work in the history of Western art.
