Bartolini Salimbeni Chapel, Gothic chapel in Santa Trinita Church, Florence, Italy.
The Bartolini Salimbeni Chapel contains frescoes and an altarpiece depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary across its walls and ceiling.
The chapel belonged to the merchant family Bartolini-Salimbeni since 1363 and received decorations by Lorenzo Monaco during an extensive renovation program in the 1420s.
The frescoes address theological discussions about the Immaculate Conception of Mary through detailed narratives from the apocryphal Gospel of James.
The chapel underwent multiple restorations, including significant work in 1961 and 2004, to repair damage from World War II and preserve the medieval paintings.
White plaster covered the original frescoes for over 140 years until their rediscovery between 1885 and 1887 by restorer Augusto Burchi.
