The essays in this cross-disciplinary volume mark a major advance in study of the famous early-Renaissance frescoes in Florence‚s Brancacci chapel. Exploiting the challenge posed by a virtual absence of contemporary documentation, authors from several disciplines here mark out new parameters for analysis of chapel and frescoes, of their creators - Masolino, Masaccio and Filippino Lippi - and the relationship of the iconography to 15th-century Florentine history, piety, devotion, liturgy, theatrical performance, and contemporary workshop culture.
