    The first Early Renaissance frescos or paintings were started in 1425 when two artists commenced painting a fresco cycle of the Life of St. Peter in the chapel of the Brancacci family, at the Carmelite Church in Florence.

His frescos demonstrate an understanding of anatomy, of foreshortening, of linear perspective etc.

The competitors were each to design a bronze panel of similar shape and size, representing The Sacrifice of Isaac.
