Agostino Chigi commissioned Raphael Sanzio to design a new chapel for his family, after whom the artist had already worked for him in the Villa Farnesina. Raphael began by executing the wall fresco in 1514. However, when both Raphael and Chigi died within weeks of each other in 1520, before the chapel was finished, work was continued by Sebastiano del Piombo. However, the chapel itself and the wall surfaces flanking it were decorated in the Baroque restoration supervised by Pietro da Cortona. This work was completed in 1667.
