St. Mark 1424

Fra Angelico's "St. Mark" (1424) portrays the Evangelist standing in a red robe, holding a book and a quill, a symbolic representation of his writing the Gospel. This artwork is a testament to Angelico's mastery of Early Renaissance style, characterized by its serene composition, luminous colors, and meticulous details. The saint's gentle demeanor, his halo, and the lion at his feet, traditionally associated with St. Mark, evoke a sense of spiritual devotion and reverence, making this a classic example of religious art from the period. This painting is currently housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France.
