Santa Maria del Carmine, with its interesting rough stone façade, is famous for the beautiful Brancacci Chapel, one of the greatest treasures of Italian painting in its transept, which together with the sacresty survived a fire in 1771. This Chapel, is well known for the frescoes representing Expulsion from Paradise and a series of scenes from the Life of St. Peter commissioned to Masolino in 1425 by Felice Brancacci.  Masaccio, Masolino’s pupil, worked on this chapel giving to the Renaissance paintings a sense of avanguard, thanks to the use of perspective. The frescoes were finished by Filippino Lippi.  Masters like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci later visited this chapel to study Masaccio’s new rules of perspective.
