The Carafa Chapel is a renowned Renaissance chapel located within the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome, Italy. It is particularly famous for the fresco cycle painted by the eminent Florentine artist Filippino Lippi between 1488 and 1493. The chapel was commissioned by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa, who desired to have his family chapel decorated with themes reflecting his personal piety and his humanist interests.

Filippino Lippi, a leading painter of the late 15th century and a pupil of Sandro Botticelli, was chosen for this task due to his reputation for combining a rich narrative style with complex allegorical meanings, which appealed to the intellectual tastes of the Roman elite. The frescoes in the Carafa Chapel are considered some of Lippi's finest work and are a significant contribution to the High Renaissance style that was emerging during this period.

The fresco cycle includes several scenes depicting the lives of St. Thomas Aquinas, the patron saint of education and one of the key theologians of the Catholic Church, and St. Catherine of Alexandria, a learned and noble martyr. The main frescoes include "The Assumption of the Virgin," "The Annunciation," "The Adoration of the Magi," and "The Crucifixion," as well as portraits of the Carafa family. Lippi's work is characterized by its vivid color, graceful figures, and detailed landscapes, which together create a harmonious and spiritually uplifting space.

The Carafa Chapel is not only a testament to the artistic genius of Filippino Lippi but also an embodiment of the religious and cultural aspirations of the Renaissance period. It remains an important site for both art historical study and religious contemplation, attracting scholars and visitors from around the world.
