The central image shows Christ with the lance and sponge used at his Crucifixion. The other figures are saints whose relics were probably held in the convent church (from left to right, the Blessed Margaret of Hungary and Saints Cecilia, Mary Magdalen, John the Evangelist, Catherine of Alexandria and Agnes). Despite their small scale, the figures are all incredibly expressive.
The artist was himself a Dominican friar. Born Guido di Pietro, he was given the name ‘Fra Angelico’ (Angelic Friar) in honour of his devotion and the refinement of his paintings.
