"Scenes from the Life of St Onuphrius" is a fresco attributed to the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the cells of the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy, where Fra Angelico lived and worked as a Dominican friar. The fresco, dating from the 1440s, depicts various episodes from the life of Saint Onuphrius, an Egyptian hermit saint who lived in complete solitude in the desert.

The fresco is notable for its vivid storytelling and the use of color, which is characteristic of Fra Angelico's style. The scenes are arranged in a narrative sequence that illustrates key moments from the saint's life, including his initial retreat to the desert, his life of penance, and his eventual death. The work reflects the devotional practices and the spiritual ideals of the Dominican Order during the Renaissance, emphasizing themes of asceticism, contemplation, and the hermitic life.

Fra Angelico's work is renowned for its combination of religious piety and artistic innovation. In "Scenes from the Life of St Onuphrius," the painter's delicate handling of figures and landscapes, as well as his attention to detail, contribute to the fresco's serene and contemplative atmosphere. The fresco is an important example of Fra Angelico's mastery in conveying complex religious narratives through art, and it remains a significant piece within the corpus of Christian iconography.

The fresco is preserved in situ in the Convent of San Marco, which is now a museum, allowing visitors to experience the work in its original monastic context.
