Nicholas Lochoff (d.1948), after

 Fra Angelico (Florentine, 1400?-1455)
 CRUCIFIX WITH ST. DOMINIC

 Original (c.1442)In the Cloister of San Marco, Florence Fresco

Fra Angelico, a Dominican monk himself, painted the order's founder into this Crucifixion, thereby establishing a sense of mystical participation by the members of the Order. The odd shape of the fresco today is the result of a 1628 redecoration at San Marco, when a sculpted marble frame was added to the original; originally the blue sky and barren setting seen here would have filled the entire expanse of wall, created an isolation appropriate for this scene of mystical confrontation.
