Workshop of Fra Angelico, Cell 24, San Marco The Baptism of Christ Florence, c. 1440s Fresco
This fresco, located in Cell 24 of the Dominican convent of San Marco in Florence, was painted by the workshop of Fra Angelico under his supervision. Designed as part of a larger decorative program for the friars’ cells, the work reflects the devotional focus of the community and the spiritual ideals of the Dominican order.
Fra Angelico’s team created images that were not meant for public display but for private contemplation. Each friar’s cell was adorned with a fresco intended to support prayer and meditation. In Cell 24, the scene exemplifies the delicate balance of clarity, simplicity, and emotional intensity that characterizes Fra Angelico’s approach to sacred art.
