The Brancacci Chapel: Revolution and Restoration
1h 1m
Join Dr. Rocky for this video lecture in honor of the current restoration of the marvelous frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence, Italy. There is no better place in the world in which to illustrate the evolution of late Gothic to Early Renaissance painting than this chapel. It was here that the young genius named Masaccio introduced what today we define as Renaissance painting and inspired later artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Caravaggio.
