Brancacci Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Oltrarno, Italy
The Brancacci Chapel contains biblical frescoes painted on two levels inside the Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence.
Felice Brancacci commissioned the chapel decoration to Masolino and Masaccio in 1424, with final completion by Filippino Lippi in the 1480s.
The frescoes represent a turning point in Renaissance art through the introduction of perspective, natural light effects, and anatomically correct figures.
Visitors enter the chapel through the monastery cloister, with advance reservations required and viewing sessions limited to 30 minutes per group.
The frescoes survived a devastating fire in 1771 that destroyed most of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Carmine.
