Abstract

The article focuses on the documents on the Filippo Strozzi's Chapel in Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. Bini and Bigazzi published a few important documents concerning the Strozzi chapel in the Dominican church of Santa Mari Novella as an appendix to the biography of the great merchant banker. The papers include the allocation of the murals to Filippino Lippi in 1487 and excerpts from the will of Strozzi in 1491. The cleaning of the Strozzi frescoes has necessitated a reexamination of the original texts. There were several documents that emerge tracing the course of Lippi's prolonged labors in the chapel and describing the other transactions for the rest of the furnishings.
