1648, Carlo Dolci, Portrait of Fra Angelico -- San Marco Museum (Florence)

From the museum label: The painting underscores the strong ideal bond between the two artists rooted in the intensity of their shared religious faith. They also shared an association with the Dominican Order in that Beato Angelico is one of the order's most celebrated members of all time, while Dolci belonged to the Compagnia di San Benedetto Bianco, a confraternity that met in the Dominican church of Santa Maria Novella.
