The Brancacci Chapel was added to the south transept of the Carmelite church of Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence, in about 1386. Provision for it had been made in the will of Pietro Brancacci, who died in 1367. Felice di Michele Brancacci commissioned the painting of the chapel in his will of 1422.

It is assumed that work on the frescoes began in 1424, at a time when Masaccio and Masolino were working together, and that it continued until 1427 or 1428, when Masaccio set off for Rome, leaving the fresco cycle unfinished. The cycle was completed by Filippino Lippi between 1481 and 1485.

Scholars now accept Vasari's determination of the authorship of the scenes. He gave to Masolino three scenes in the upper section, namely Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha, St Peter Preaching, and The Temptation.
