Good Friday – Fra Angelico fresco

This fresco is by the great Fra Angelico, painted around 1441 and is titled Saint Dominic Adoring the Crucifixion. Yes Fra Angelico knew that St. Dominic – born in 1170 – was not at the crucifixion. But you get the message. The fresco is at the Convent of San Marco in Florence which is now a museum. In the summer of 1981 Brigid and I were at San Marco, but I have no recollection of seeing this fresco. It is a wonderful image.
