Scenes from San Marco, Florence, painted by the Dominican Friar Fra Angelico (died 1455), Blessed John of Fiesole, patron of artists.
Father Michael Morris, O.P., writes in Magnificat, February 2010: "While living at the Dominican house of San Marco in Florence, Fra Angelico painted in each friar's cell a scene drawn from Scripture and tradition, a pictorial representation that would inspire the occupant to pray in the manner of the order's founder, Saint Dominic. The frescoes are an eloquent expression of the order's spirituality, a testament to the potent blending of image and prayer."
