The Sistine Chapel ( Italian: Cappella Sistina) is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the Roman Catholic Pope in the Vatican City, Rome. ...

The construction of chapel was commissioned by Pietro Brancacci, starting from 1386.

The patron of the pictorial decoration was Felice Brancacci, descendant of the former, who had served as the Florentine ambassador to Cairo until 1423. Upon his return to Florence he hired Masolino da Panicale to paint his chapel. Masolino's associate, 21 year old Masaccio, who was 18 years younger, assisted, but did so well that Masolino left and the commission was given to Masaccio. Masaccio was called to Rome before he could finish the Brancacci Chapel and unfortunately he died in Rome at the age of 27. Portions of the chapel were completed later by Filippino Lippi.

The Temptation of Adam and Eve

By Masolino da Panicale.

Main article: The Expulsion from the Garden of Eden (Masaccio)

Masaccio's Expulsion from the Garden of Eden is the first fresco on the upper part of the chapel, on the left wall, just at the left of the Tribute Money. It is famous for its vivid energy and unprecedented emotional realism. It contrasts dramatically with Masolino's delicate and decorative image of Adam and Eve before the fall, painted on the opposite wall.

The Tribute Money

The most famous painting in the chapel is Tribute Money, on the upper right wall, with figures of Jesus and Peter shown in a three part narrative. The painting, largely attributed to Masaccio, represents the story of Peter and the tax collector from Matthew 17:24-27. The left side shows Peter getting a coin from the mouth of a fish and the right side shows Peter paying his taxes. The whole appears to be related to the establishment of the Catasto, the first income tax in Florence, in the time the painting was being executed. This article is about Jesus of Nazareth. ... Saint Peter, also known as Peter, Simon ben Jonah/BarJonah, Simon Peter, Cephas and Kepha—original name Simon or Simeon (Acts 15:14)—was one of the twelve original disciples or apostles of Jesus. ... Catasto is the Italian registration system for real estate ownership (like the Land Registry in Britain). ...

The importance of the painting lies also in its depiction of Jesus with human features, and at the same height of the disciples, with a revolutionary rejection of the "hyerarchical perspective" of the former treatments of similar themes.

The Healing of the Cripple and the Raising of Tabitha, by Masolino da Panicale and Masaccio.

Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabitha

The upper scene on the right wall shows, on the left side, the Healing of the Cripple and, on the right side, the Raising of Tabitha. The fresco is generally attributed to Masolino, although Masaccio's hand has been discovered by some scholars. The scene shows two different episodes, with St. Peter appearing in both of them enclosed in a sceneario of a typical Tuscan city of the 15th century depicted according to the strict rules of central perspective. The latter is generally regarded as Masaccio's main contribution, whereas the two central figures, showing Gothic influences, are probably by Masolino.

The young Michelangelo was one of the many artists who received his artistic training by copying Masaccio's work in the chapel. The chapel was also the site an assault on Michelangelo by rival sculptor Pietro Torrigiano, who resented some critical remarks about his draughtsmanship. He punched Michelangelo so severely that he "crushed his nose like a biscuit" (according to Benvenuto Cellini), forever deforming the face of the famous artist.
