The "Story of St Nicholas, Birth of St Nicholas (detail)" is a fresco created in 1437 by the renowned Early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico. Fra Angelico, born Guido di Pietro, was an Italian painter of the Dominican Order, celebrated for his devout religious works and pioneering contributions to the development of Renaissance art. This particular fresco is part of a larger series that depicts the life and miracles of St. Nicholas, a 4th-century Christian saint and Greek Bishop of Myra, who is widely venerated for his acts of generosity and miracles.

The fresco is notable for its delicate and detailed portrayal of the birth of St. Nicholas, capturing the serene and sacred atmosphere of the event. Fra Angelico's mastery in the use of color, light, and composition is evident in this work, where he skillfully combines elements of Gothic tradition with the emerging Renaissance style. The figures are rendered with a sense of grace and spirituality, reflecting the artist's deep religious conviction and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art.

Fra Angelico's frescoes are characterized by their luminous quality and the use of perspective to create a sense of depth and realism. In "Birth of St Nicholas," the artist employs a harmonious palette and meticulous attention to detail, from the delicate folds of the garments to the expressive faces of the figures. This work not only exemplifies Fra Angelico's technical prowess but also his ability to infuse his paintings with a profound sense of piety and devotion.

The fresco is housed in the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy, where Fra Angelico spent a significant part of his career. The Convent of San Marco is renowned for its extensive collection of Fra Angelico's works, which were created to inspire and educate the Dominican friars residing there.
