Description:
|
|
Fra Angelico was entrusted with a program of decoration that included an altarpiece for the church and over 50 frescoes for the convent itself. Upstairs in the dormitory, each of the 43 original cells received a frescoed composition and three others were painted in the corridors. It is thought that the Dominicans were the first order to specify the use of images in this context, though apart from those at San Marco no other such suites are known. The attribution and chronology of the 43 frescoes in the cells is an enormous and probably insoluble problem. The frescoes wholly or almost wholly painted by the master are those in cleric's cells 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10, including this one, the Mocking of Christ, in Cell 7.
