"St. Lawrence Distributes Food to the Poor" is a fresco by the early Italian Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. The work is part of a series of frescoes painted by Fra Angelico in the Chapel of Nicholas V, located in the Vatican. Created around 1447-1449, during the papacy of Nicholas V, the frescoes depict scenes from the lives of Saints Stephen and Lawrence, both deacons of the early Christian Church who were celebrated for their charity and martyrdom.

The fresco "St. Lawrence Distributes Food to the Poor" illustrates a moment from the life of Saint Lawrence, who is known for his role as a deacon in charge of the Church's treasury and for distributing alms to the less fortunate. According to Christian tradition, Lawrence was martyred under the Roman Emperor Valerian in the third century. In the fresco, Fra Angelico captures the saint in the act of charity, distributing food to a group of poor and needy individuals, a theme that resonates with Christian teachings on compassion and service to others.

Fra Angelico's work is renowned for its delicate use of color and light, as well as its spiritual expressiveness. The fresco is a testament to the painter's mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey narrative and emotion through art. The scene set within an architectural framework reflects the Renaissance interest in perspective and space, while the figures are rendered with a sense of dignity and grace characteristic of Fra Angelico's style.

The fresco is an important part of the artistic heritage of the Vatican and contributes to our understanding of Renaissance art and its religious and cultural context. As with other works by Fra Angelico, "St. Lawrence Distributes Food to the Poor" is admired for its devotional quality and its influence on the development of Renaissance painting.
