"St Nicholas of Myra Calming the Storm" is a fresco by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes painted by Fra Angelico in the 1440s, located in the San Marco Convent in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts the popular hagiographical episode where St. Nicholas, the Christian saint and Greek Bishop of Myra, miraculously calms a tempest at sea, saving the lives of sailors. This event is one of the many miracles attributed to St. Nicholas and contributes to his patronage of sailors and fishermen.

Fra Angelico, renowned for his devout spirituality and exceptional use of color, has rendered the scene with a harmonious composition and delicate handling of the figures, which is characteristic of his style. The fresco is situated within the architectural context of the convent, contributing to the spiritual environment intended for contemplation by the Dominican friars who resided there.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its iconographic content, as it reflects the veneration of St. Nicholas in the 15th century and provides insight into the religious culture of the period. Fra Angelico's ability to convey narrative and emotion through his paintings has been celebrated, and "St Nicholas of Myra Calming the Storm" stands as a testament to his mastery in fresco technique and his deep understanding of Christian iconography.

As with many of Fra Angelico's frescoes, this work is noted for its serene and otherworldly quality, which is achieved through the use of ethereal color palettes and the depiction of divine intervention in human affairs. The fresco remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Fra Angelico and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of the Italian Renaissance.
