Fra Angelico gave thought to every touch: and his beatific holiness floods the work.

Each of these three great pictures, I may add, has its original frame.
The room which leads from this one is much less valuable; but Fra Bartolommeo's Vision of S.Bernard has lately been brought to an easel here to give it character.

I find this the Frate's most beautiful work.

It may have details that are a little crude, and the pointed nose of the Virgin is not perhaps in accordance with the best tradition, while she is too real for an apparition; but the figure of the kneeling saint is masterly and the landscape lovely in subject and feeling.

Here too is Fra Bartolommeo's portrait of Savonarola, in which the reformer is shown as personating S.Peter Martyr.
