The Predella of the San Domenico Altarpiece is a significant work by the renowned Early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This predella, which forms the lower part of the larger San Domenico Altarpiece, is a testament to Fra Angelico's masterful use of color, composition, and religious iconography. Created around 1423-1424, the altarpiece was originally commissioned for the Church of San Domenico in Fiesole, Italy, a Dominican convent where Fra Angelico himself took his vows.

The predella consists of a series of small, intricately detailed panels that depict various scenes from the lives of saints and the Passion of Christ. Each panel is a narrative in itself, showcasing Fra Angelico's ability to convey complex theological themes and human emotions through his art. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious use of color are characteristic of Fra Angelico's style, which blends Gothic traditions with the emerging naturalism of the Renaissance.

One of the most striking features of the predella is its use of gold leaf, which not only adds a luminous quality to the scenes but also serves to highlight the divine nature of the subjects depicted. The figures are rendered with a delicate grace, their expressions and gestures imbued with a sense of piety and devotion. This reflects Fra Angelico's own deep religious faith and his commitment to using art as a means of spiritual expression.

The predella panels are also notable for their architectural elements, which create a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer into the sacred narratives. This use of space and perspective was innovative for its time and influenced many subsequent artists in the Renaissance period.

Today, the Predella of the San Domenico Altarpiece is considered a masterpiece of early Renaissance art, admired for its beauty, craftsmanship, and spiritual depth. It remains an important example of Fra Angelico's contribution to the development of Western art and his enduring legacy as one of the great painters of the Italian Renaissance.
