Paintings for the Armadio degli Argenti

The panels of the Armadio degli Argenti are a series of tempera paintings dating from ca. 1451–1453, attributed primarily to Fra Angelico, with later contributions based on his preparatory drawings. These religious paintings exemplify the Early Renaissance style, combining spiritual symbolism with meticulous craftsmanship. Originally intended for the Armadio degli Argenti, the series now resides in the Museo nazionale di San Marco, Florence, showcasing Fra Angelico’s mastery of tempera-based art on panel surfaces.
