Deposition from the Cross (detail)

by ANGELICO, Fra, Tempera on wood

Fra Angelico’s Deposition demonstrates not only his skillful treatment of landscapes, but also figures, to which he often gave specific and presumably identifiable features. The man in the turban is likely a portrait of a person known to the artist.
