Here it is in Masaccio's trinity, a direct quote from Laurie Schneider Adams "Italian Renaissance Art" Page 90 "Below the Step, a skeleton lies on top of a sarcophagus and, through the written inscription, issues a warning to viewers;"I was once what you are, and what I am you will also be." This derives from the medieval tradition of the Quick and the Dead, admonishing the living to beware the temptations of material pleasures and their ultimate transience.


She goes on to say that tin the case of this painting the skeleton also holds the promise of resurrection.
