Description:
|
The Supper of St. Dominic, a large fresco in the refectory of San Marco in Florence, was painted in 1536. According to Vasari, its conservative style was imposed by the Dominican patrons, who rejected Sogliani’s more modern design on the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes. Finally the artist produced a more pedantic and restrained subject, entitled St. Dominic and his Friars Fed by Angels, which contains added portraits and saints, as well as a Crucifixion.
