St Romuald (detail of Crucifixion) 

This detail of a larger fresco depicts St. Romuald, a 10th-century Italian Benedictine monk and founder of the Camaldolese Order, by the Early Renaissance artist Fra Angelico. The figure is shown in profile with a long white beard and a halo, a common iconographic feature for saints. Fra Angelico’s realistic and detailed portrayal of St. Romuald, with his intense gaze and subtle wrinkles, reflects the artist’s interest in human emotion and individual character. The painting, likely a detail from a larger scene like the Crucifixion, highlights Fra Angelico’s signature style of clarity and serenity.
