The Museum of San Marco occupies the oldest part of an ancient Dominican monastery, and houses the largest collection in the world of the works of Fra Angelico (Beato Angelico), who lived there for several years.True jewels of the Museum of San Marco are the art works by Fra Angelico, including the world famous Annunciation, a masterpiece of Renaissance painting.The Hospice Hall is entirely dedicated to Fra Angelico and features the Deposition of Christ, the San Pietro Martire Triptych, the Annalena Altarpiece, The Last Judgement (1431), the San Marco Altarpiece, the Madonna and Child, and the Tabernacle of the Linaioli.The second floor houses the old monks’ cells, decorated with frescoes of great fame and beauty. Made between 1438 and 1446, they bear witness to the more mature phase of the art of Fra Angelico and are an example of absolute modernity and sophistication, never made in a monastery before.
