Explore the History of this artwork, San Pietro Martire Triptych.
The work is Fra Angelico's first documented work. It comes from the convent of San Pietro Martire and a document from 30 March 1429 notes a sum of 20 florins owed to the convent of San Domenico, Fiesole, where the painter was a monk.
According to some art historians, it could be contemporary of the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne (1424–1425) by Masaccio and Masolino da Panicale, although it lacks the use of compartments which at the time were widespread.
