to the hospice), 1440–1442. Fresco, 108 × 145 cm. Convento di San Marco, Florence.

      48. Fra Bartolomeo, Christ with Two Disciples of Emmaus Resembling Father Nicholas Scomberg and Father Santi Paganini (lunette over the door of Savonarola’s cell). Fresco. Convento di San Marco, Florence.

      In a series of four half figures painted by Fra Angelico in the lunettes above the other doors, the stranger, fraternally welcomed into the convent, is reminded that the colonnades of the cloister are a sacred place. He sees Saint Dominic, holding the book of rules and discipline, rules that establish the necessity of a life of penitence, followed by Saint Thomas, the light of the Order. Above the door of the sacristy, the guest saw Saint Peter Martyr, a serious character holding his finger to his lips, commanding silence in the cloister, and particularly, in the sacristy (Saint Peter Martyr Enjoining Silence).[13] Above a fifth door, the Lord rises from the tomb and shows the wounds on his hands, recalling the Stations of the Cross and the victory of the Resurrection.

In the translation of Geschichte der italienischen Malerei by Crowe and Cavalcaselle, Jordan says (II, p. 214): “In the foreground kneel the four bishops, Savinus and Ansanun, Crescentinus and Victor, the patron saints of the city, in adoration before the majesty of Mary.” In reality, it is one bishop and three martyrs who kneel. They are not in “adoration” of Mary, but of Christ.

In the guide to San Marco, Professor Fred Rodoni summarises the remarks we have just presented in the following terms, “Nelle mura di questo con vento è impressa la storia monumentale dei più gloriosi tempi dell’ arte fiorentina. L’Angelico chiude e riassum l’antica Scuola toscana del risorgimento: Frate Barolomeo della Porta rappresenta la Scuola moderna. Il primo il pittore dell’ idea, il secondo quella della forma. Grande ambidue e ornamento di questo bellissimo Cenobio che illustraono colla lora, dimora e coi loro dipinti.”
