Many frescoes of the Last Supper are still preserved in the refectories of Florentine churches. The fresco in the Carmine Monastery, painted by Alessandro Allori in 1581, is of particular importance; on the far left is a self-portrait of the artist and on the far right a portrait of Father Luca of Venice who commissioned the work. Built in the 13th century the Carmine church is also noted for the splendid Brancacci Chapel, on the right side of the transept, with frescoes by Masaccio and Masolino, completed by Filippino Lippi.
