Gondi Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Santa Maria Novella Basilica, Florence, Italy
The Gondi Chapel features marble decorations, Gothic architectural elements, and a central wooden crucifix mounted on a dark stone wall within the basilica.
The chapel, constructed in the early 15th century, showcases a wooden crucifix created by Filippo Brunelleschi between 1410 and 1415 following his competition with Donatello.
The chapel represents the influence of the Gondi family, prominent Florentine bankers who commissioned numerous artworks and architectural elements during the Renaissance period.
Visitors can access the chapel through the main entrance of Santa Maria Novella Basilica, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.
The wooden crucifix within the chapel demonstrates Brunelleschi's interpretation of Christ's form, presenting precise anatomical proportions and naturalistic details in the carving.
