The wall paintings were executed by Pietro Perugino Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Cosimo
Rosselli, Luca Signorelli, and their respective workshops, which included Pinturicchio, Piero di Cosimo and
Bartolomeo Della Gatta.
A magnificent marble screen divided the presbytery from the nave, and there was an attractive choir. The
marble screen, along with the balustrade, which decorates the pulpit, was created by the sculptors Mino da Fi-
esole, Andrea Bregno and Giovanni Dalmata. A marble mosaic floor of exquisite workmanship describes the
processional itinerary up to and beyond the marble screen, to the innermost space, where it offers a surround
for the papal throne and the cardinals' seats. Originally, the chapel was divided by the screen and the pattern of
the floor mosaic into two equal parts – a nave for the laity and a presbytery for the clergy – but the screen in
later years made the nave smaller and the presbytery much larger.
