Cappella Martini Ceiling
The second chapel on the left was commissioned by a family of merchants from Lucca, the Martini family, who called upon Tuscan artists to create it. Antonio Rossellino took care of the architectural side, whilst the Della Robbias created the splendid glazed terracotta ceiling with Christ and the Four Evangelists against a cubed background showing perspective.
