Brancacci Chapel Guided Tour

Step inside one of Florence’s most extraordinary hidden treasures with a guided visit to the Brancacci Chapel, located within the historic complex of Santa Maria del Carmine.

Often called the “Sistine Chapel of the Early Renaissance,” the Brancacci Chapel marks a turning point in the history of art. Here, in the early 15th century, Masaccio revolutionized painting with groundbreaking perspective, realistic figures, and dramatic use of light, forever changing the language of Renaissance art. Together with Masolino da Panicale and later Filippino Lippi, he created a cycle of frescoes that inspired generations of artists, including Michelangelo.

During this intimate small-group experience, admire masterpieces such as the moving Expulsion from the Garden of Eden and follow the vivid stories of Saint Peter through frescoes that still feel surprisingly modern today. Your expert guide will reveal hidden symbols, artistic innovations, and fascinating details about Renaissance Florence, including portraits believed to be inspired by figures such as Filippo Brunelleschi and Sandro Botticelli.

The experience continues in the evocative Sala della Colonna, where you’ll discover detached frescoes, original sinopias, and early works by Fra Filippo Lippi. These rare preparatory drawings offer a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse into the creative process of Renaissance masters
