- In the early 1400s, a young genius named Masaccio dared to break the rules of medieval art by introducing depth, movement, and human emotion never seen before, thus helping to create a new era in art and placing this revolutionary work at the pinnacle of great Italian art. His bold use of perspective and the interplay of light and shadow (chiaroscuro) would continue to inspire history’s greatest artists: even Michelangelo studied these frescoes, drawing lessons that would shape the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and later Caravaggio found inspiration in them, elevating the dramatic use of light to its highest expression.
- Cappella Brancacci: On this guided small-group tour, you will step into the world of Masaccio, Masolino, and Filippino Lippi—the artist who later completed the work in the chapel—as hidden meanings, surprising details, and the intrigue behind every depicted scene are revealed. You will marvel at the poignant expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise and the dramatic narration of Saint Peter’s life, moving you as you watch the masterful interplay of light and shadow on frescoes that seem to “sculpt” the scenes.
- Cappella Brancacci: Your experience also includes access to the evocative Sala della Colonna, located within the Carmine complex. This remarkable space preserves detached frescoes and original sinopias from the chapel, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at Renaissance artistic techniques
