The Martyrdom of St. Mark 1433

Fra Angelico's "The Martyrdom of St. Mark," painted in 1433, depicts the violent death of the saint. The scene is set in a courtyard, with a group of men attacking St. Mark as he lies on the ground. The artist's use of light and color creates a sense of drama and urgency. This fresco, located in the Basilica di San Marco in Florence, is a powerful reminder of the saint's sacrifice and exemplifies Angelico's characteristic clear and lucid style.
