"Paintings for the Armadio degli Argenti" is a series of six fresco panels by Fra Angelico, painted in 1452 for the Basilica di San Marco in Florence, Italy. The panels depict scenes from the Passion of Christ, showcasing Angelico's characteristic luminous colors and graceful figures. The scenes are presented in chronological order, beginning with the Last Supper and ending with Christ's flagellation. The clarity of the narrative and the serene beauty of the figures are hallmarks of Angelico's style, which helped define Early Renaissance art in Florence.
