Arguably the best painting in the church is The Annunciation and Stories from the Life of St Nicholas (1440-7) by Filippo Lippi. This masterpiece was painted for the Martelli Chapel where it still remains today.
The elegant white marble coffin for the tomb of Niccolo and Fioretta Martelli is by Donatello (1464).
