Cappella Brancacci

The Brancacci Chapel is situated in the south transept of the Basilica del Carmine, founded by Carmelite friars in Florence in the 13th century and best known for its fresco cycle with the Stories of St. Peter commissioned by Felice Brancacci in 1423. Painted by Masolino da Panicale and the young Masaccio, it was left unfinished in 1427 and was only completed by Filippino Lippi between 1481 and 1483. One of the fresco cycles most emblematic of the Florentine Early Renaissance, it is remarkable for the stringent handling of perspective that imparts unity to the scenes, the powerfully innovative approach adopted by Masaccio causing those that he painted to stand out among their fellows.

Access to the Cappella Brancacci is by groups of a maximum of 30 people and for a maximum of 30 minutes (Free reservation but compulsory).

If you wish to visit the Cappella Brancacci on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, you have to purchase a dual ticket admitting the holder to both the Chapel and the Fondazione Salvatore Romano.

When you purchase your ticket on line, you must choose the time and date of your visit to the Cappella Brancacci (please remember to show up at the Infopoint at least 15 minutes ahead of time). You can visit the nearby Fondazione Salvatore Romano on the same day at any time during its opening hours.
