Description:
|
The attribution and chronology of the 43 frescoes in the cells of San Marco is an enormous and probably insoluble problem. The overall conception and the design of most of the individual scenes are undoubtedly Fra Angelico’s. The major hand in cell 24 is not Fra Angelico's and some have attributed it to Zanobi Strozzi. It is known that Strozzi did paint the angels in the Nativity in cell 5. The use of the sweeping landscape is seen in other of his works. Fra Angelico may have painted the figures of the Dominican saints at right, whereas the kneeling angels on the left may be by Benozzo Gozzoli.
