The decoration of the chapel in the Palazzo della Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio) was commissioned by Lorenzo de' Medici the Younger, who headed the newly installed regime in Florence.The decorative scheme of this low-vaulted chapel is traditional with the Vision of St Bernard at the altar end in the lunette, divided by a round window, facing another fresco of the Annunciation at the opposite end of the room (this picture), transversed by doors. It is richly gilded and replete with all'antica grotesque decorations in an elaborate organization predicated on a combination of real and fictive architecture.
