Moreover, in other pictures painted by Fra Angelico about this time we find portraits of living personages, friends, and associates of his own. What is more likely than that he M should have painted the portrait of an artistic colleague for whom he evidently had a very great admiration? If, then, this figure with a black capuchon be a portrait of Michelozzo, as I hold it is, we have here another clue to the date of the picture.

We now come to the consideration of the monumental task which occupied the friar for the greater part of the time of his residence at S. Marco.
