The Old Sacristy (Sagrestia Vecchia) is a notable architectural space within the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy, which is renowned for its artistic and historical significance. It was designed by the architect Filippo Brunelleschi and is considered one of the earliest examples of Renaissance architecture. While the Old Sacristy itself is a masterpiece of architectural design, it is also celebrated for the sculptural works by the eminent Renaissance artist Donatello that adorn its interior.

Donatello (c. 1386–1466), a Florentine sculptor, was a contemporary of Brunelleschi and a key figure in the early Renaissance. His contributions to the Old Sacristy include a series of stiacciato relief sculptures, a technique he refined to create the illusion of depth in a shallow space, and various free-standing sculptures. Among the most notable of Donatello's works in the Old Sacristy are the bronze doors that feature scenes from the life of St. John the Evangelist, as well as the sculptural decorations of the sarcophagi intended for the Medici family, who were the patrons of the chapel.

The Old Sacristy is also home to a series of roundels with the Evangelists and other decorative elements that showcase Donatello's skill in working with different materials, including terracotta and bronze. His work in the Old Sacristy is characterized by a classical influence, with a focus on naturalism and the human figure, which was revolutionary at the time and contributed to the development of Renaissance art.

The collaboration between Brunelleschi and Donatello in the Old Sacristy represents a harmonious blend of architecture and sculpture, creating a space that is both a devotional environment and a showcase for artistic innovation. The Old Sacristy remains a significant cultural landmark and a testament to the genius of its creators, attracting scholars and visitors who are interested in the origins of Renaissance art and architecture.
