520 "This brief but rich and speculative book will be of
particular interest to art historians who have often
pondered the Brancacci Chapel, painted by Masaccio and
Masolino, in relation to the life of its owner, Felice
Brancacci, Florentine ambassador to Cairo. Felice comes
alive in his important chronicle which is carefully
glossed by the author, who also offers the reader a bold,
new interpretation of Masaccio's Tribute Money." - Paul
Barolsky, Professor Emeritus, University of Virginia, USA
This book is the first English translation of Felice di
Michele Brancacci's diary of his 1422 mission to the court
of Sultan Al-Ashraf Seyf-ad-Din Barsbay of Egypt.
Following the purchase of Port of Pisa in 1421, and the
building of a galley system, Florence went on to assume a
more active role in Levant trade, and this rich text
recounts the maiden voyage of the Florentine galleys to
Egypt. The text portrays the transnational experiences of
Brancacci including those between the East and West,
Christians and Muslims, and the ancient and modern worlds.
The accompanying critical introduction discusses the
unexpected motifs in Brancacci's voyage, as well as
tracing the aftershocks of what was a traumatic Egyptian
experience for him. It shows that this aftershock was then
measured, captured, and memorialized in the iconic image
of Tribute Money, the fresco he commissioned from Masaccio,
on his return to his own world in Florence
