Capponi Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Oltrarno, Florence, Italy.
The Capponi Chapel features Corinthian pilasters facing a corner pier, supporting an entablature with Ionic columns that form arches within Santa Felicita church.
Filippo Brunelleschi designed this chapel between 1419 and 1423 for the Barbadori family, incorporating mathematical principles typical of early Renaissance architecture.
The chapel demonstrates the transition from Gothic to Classical architectural styles through its innovative spatial organization and structural elements within religious buildings.
Located in Via de' Bardi, the chapel remains open to visitors interested in examining the architectural techniques of the Italian Renaissance period.
The chapel contains a truncated dome resting on pendentives with roundels, reflecting the advanced engineering methods developed during the 15th century.
