Notes

  • [a] Payment records and an inventory of Filippo Strozzi's papers drawn up after his death on 14 May 1491 indicate that Benedetto began his work to decorate the chapel during Filippo's lifetime, having received 161 florins in December of that year for work done up to that point. His final payment was rendered on 27 March 1495 when he received 213 florins. It remains unclear, however, when all the various components Benedetto made -- the marble inlaid floor, the various parts of the tomb and other marble fittings including the altar table -- were installed in the chapel.
