"The Virgin Consigns the Habit to St Dominic" is a notable fresco created by the renowned Early Renaissance painter Fra Angelico, also known by his birth name Guido di Pietro. This artwork is part of a larger series of frescoes that Fra Angelico painted for the Convent of San Marco in Florence, Italy, during the mid-15th century. Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar himself, was deeply influenced by his religious devotion, which is profoundly reflected in his art. His works are celebrated for their spiritual intensity, delicate beauty, and innovative use of color and light.

The fresco depicts a significant moment in the history of the Dominican Order, illustrating the Virgin Mary presenting the habit to St. Dominic, the founder of the order. This act symbolizes the divine approval and blessing of the Dominican mission. The composition is marked by its serene and harmonious arrangement, typical of Fra Angelico's style, which combines elements of Gothic tradition with the emerging Renaissance ideals of naturalism and perspective.

Fra Angelico's use of color is particularly noteworthy in this fresco. The soft, luminous hues create a sense of ethereal light, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere of the scene. The figures are rendered with gentle, flowing lines, and their expressions convey a profound sense of piety and reverence. The fresco not only serves as a religious narrative but also as a visual representation of the values and ideals of the Dominican Order.

The Convent of San Marco, where this fresco is located, was a significant center for the Dominican Order and played a crucial role in the religious and cultural life of Florence during the Renaissance. Fra Angelico's frescoes in the convent, including "The Virgin Consigns the Habit to St Dominic," are considered masterpieces of religious art and continue to be admired for their artistic and spiritual depth.
