Cappella Gaddi, Santa Maria Novella, Florence

From 1575 to 1590 Dosio worked mainly in Florence, where he received increasingly prestigious appointments. In 1575-76 he rebuilt the Gaddi Chapel in Santa Maria Novella.

The photo shows the Gaddi Chapel with Bronzino's altarpiece Raising of the Daughter of Jairus. At the sides are the tombs of Cardinal Niccolò Gaddi (left) and Cardinal Taddeo Gaddi (right) by Giovanni Bandini. The ceiling fresco was executed by Alessandro Allori.
