The altar of the “Cappella del Santissimo Sacramento” (Most Blessed Sacrament Chapel) in our Cathedral: the altarpiece is “Cristo coronato di spine” (Christ Crowned with Thorns), painted by Fra Angelico around 1440.

A fine piece of art.
Would love to have such a bike, as from two days ago. Please have a good new week.
very symmetrical.
Just stunning.
Very impressive, VP. The painting, the sculptures, the columns, everything.
Beautiful alter.
Hard to believe that the Angelico painting is 50 years older than when Columbus sailed to the New World. Amazing.
Wow, and look at those columns!
These time-scales are sometimes difficult to grasp.
One of my favourite painters. It's magnificent.
Lovely. It's nice to remember the real meaning of Christmas amidst all the commercialism.

Lovely! The angels make nice adornments to the alter.

1440, gosh that is unbelievable VP, it's beauty certainly has stood the test of time.
