Painting Description
"Crucifixion with St Dominic Flagellating Himself (Cell 20)" is a fresco by the early Italian Renaissance master Fra Angelico, located in the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy. Painted between 1440 and 1442, the fresco is one of a series that Fra Angelico created for the individual cells of the Dominican friars at the convent. This particular work is notable for its devotional intensity and the juxtaposition of the central image of the Crucifixion with the depiction of Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, practicing self-flagellation as an act of penance and spiritual discipline.
The fresco is executed with the delicate color palette and attention to detail characteristic of Fra Angelico's style. It is set within a simple architectural framework that focuses the viewer's attention on the central scene. The image of Christ on the cross is rendered with a sense of serenity and grace, while the figure of Saint Dominic, shown in a smaller scale to the right of the cross, adds a layer of narrative and theological depth to the composition. The inclusion of Saint Dominic in this context reflects the emphasis on personal piety and asceticism within the Dominican Order.
As part of the larger body of work at the Convent of San Marco, "Crucifixion with St Dominic Flagellating Himself (Cell 20)" contributes to the understanding of Fra Angelico's approach to religious art and the spiritual life of the convent's inhabitants. The fresco remains an important example of the devotional art of the period and offers insight into the religious practices and iconography of the time. Its preservation within the context of the convent allows for continued appreciation and study by both art historians and the general public.
