in 1445, pope eugenius iv sent a message for fra angelico to come to rome to paint the frescoes of the chapel of the holy sacrament at st peter's. the chapel was later demolished by pope paul iii to make way for the new st.peter's basilica and fra angelico's work was lost. vasari says that one of the popes (it might have been eugenius or pope nichoas v) asked fra angelico if he would like the very important job of archbishop of florence. but fra angelico did not want such a high job and he suggested the name of another friar for the position. in 1447 fra angelico went to the city of orvieto with his pupil, benozzo gozzoli, to paint some pictures for the cathedral there . one of his other pupils was called zanobi strozzi, but he did not become as famous as benozzo.
