Embark on a guided tour of the Brancacci Chapel, a hidden gem of Renaissance art often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel of the early Renaissance.” This small-group excursion offers a serene escape to the Oltrarno district away from the bustling city, where you'll immerse yourself in the groundbreaking frescoes by Masaccio, Masolino, and Filippino Lippi. Let our expert local guide lead you through fascinating narratives, point out renowned figures, and help you capture lasting memories in this tranquil setting.
Your adventure commences with seamless access to the chapel via the convent’s cloisters. A seasoned guide will accompany your intimate group, ensuring you catch every hidden detail and artistic nuance within the chapel.
Step into a space that withstood the tragic fire of 1771 and now serves as a veritable “miniature museum” of Renaissance art. The chapel's walls are adorned with dual layers of frescoes, initiated by Masolino and his apprentice Masaccio in 1424, and later finalized by Filippino Lippi. Delve into the frescoes as your guide elucidates how Masaccio revolutionized art by embracing perspective, light, and emotion, breathing life into scenes like the “Expulsion of Adam and Eve” and “The Tribute Money.”
