Description:
|
|
At this period lay brothers were assumed to be untutored in Latin and would not have undergone even the minimal theological preparation required for ordination. Accordingly, the frescoes in their cells, on the south side of the north corridor, were directed to a community that was less attuned to theological and visual abstraction. The Institute of the Eucharist in Cell 35 underscored the Dominicans devotion to the Eucharist, which St. Thomas articulated most eloquently. It transpires in a spacious room similar to the convent's actual refectory and repeats elements of San Marco's own architecture, the arched windows of the dormitory, the well in the second cloister, to emphasize its relevance to the lay brother.
