St. Peter Martyr Altarpiece 1428

The "St. Peter Martyr Altarpiece," created in 1428 by Fra Angelico, is a quintessential example of Early Renaissance art. The altarpiece, now housed in the Basilica di San Marco in Florence, Italy, depicts the Virgin Mary and Child enthroned, flanked by Saint Peter Martyr and Saint Dominic. The altarpiece's central focus is on the divine figures, with intricate details in the figures' garments and the surrounding architectural framework that highlight the work's graceful lines and soft, luminous colors.
