"Scenes from the Lives of Sts Lawrence and Stephen" is a series of frescoes painted by the Early Renaissance Italian artist Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This work is located in the Vatican's Chapel of Nicholas V, also known as the Niccoline Chapel, which was decorated by Fra Angelico between 1447 and 1451. The frescoes depict various episodes from the lives of the deacons and Christian martyrs Saint Lawrence and Saint Stephen, who were revered in the early Christian Church for their faith and sacrificial acts.

The frescoes are renowned for their vivid coloration and the emotional depth with which Fra Angelico portrayed the saints' narratives. The scenes are arranged in a sequence that narrates the stories of the two saints, with each event rendered with a combination of theological insight and artistic mastery. Fra Angelico's work reflects the humanistic interests of the Renaissance, emphasizing the virtues of the saints and their exemplary lives.

The commission for the frescoes was given by Pope Nicholas V, who sought to renovate the Vatican and Rome to reflect the grandeur of Christianity. The Niccoline Chapel was intended as the pope's private chapel, and the choice of Saints Lawrence and Stephen as subjects reflects their importance to the Church and to the pope himself.

Fra Angelico's frescoes in the Chapel of Nicholas V are considered some of his finest work and are an important example of the art and religious culture of the Renaissance. The scenes are a testament to the artist's ability to convey complex theological concepts through art and to inspire devotion through his depiction of the saints' piety and martyrdom. The frescoes have been preserved and can still be viewed in the Vatican, offering a glimpse into the spiritual and artistic world of 15th-century Italy.
