Description:
|
At San Marco, Fra Angelico was entrusted with a program of decoration that included an altarpiece for the church and over 50 frescoes for the convent itself, the largest group of related works to survive almost intact from the workshop of a single Renaissance painter. Cell 39 is at the end of the corridor for lay brothers. Cell 38 and 39 were intended for Cosimo de' Medici, who belonged to the community by virtue of his patronage, and are larger and more opulently decorated. This Man of Sorrows is painted in a recessed tabernacle below a large fresco of the Adoration of the Magi by Benozzo Gozzoli. The design is by Fra Angelico, but was probably painted by assistants.
