[10e] Name this city where, a century later, Fra Angelico and Sandro Botticelli were patronized by the Medici family.
ANSWER: Florence [or Firenze]
[10h] After Giotto, the next Florentine that Berenson praised for their tactile values was this artist, whose fresco of a heartbroken Adam and Eve in the Brancacci chapel was compared to a Michelangelo scene by Berenson.
ANSWER: Masaccio [or Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone]
[10m] Berenson also attributed tactile values to Paolo Uccello, but claimed his art suffered from his obsession with this technique. Masaccio pioneered aerial and single-point forms of this technique to create The Tribute Money.
