Question

Christopher Wood’s book The Embedded Portrait connects a Chapter House Crucifixion at this complex with the earlier painter Giottino. Until it was bought by the Santa Maria Novella, this complex housed a Last Supper with a signature reading “pray for the paintress.” Plautilla Nelli spent her career at this complex, where she admired an artist who painted a stark black profile portrait of Girolamo Savonarola. Michelozzo (“mee-kell-OTTS-oh”) rebuilt this complex, which titles a sacra conversazione (-5[1])commissioned by Cosimo de’ Medici with a predella depicting the story of Cosmas and Damian. A daily prayer reminder appears in a fresco at this convent (10[1])in which a garden is shown left of the (10[1])Corinthian columns and arches of a loggia (-5[1])that frame the multicolored wings of (10[1])Gabriel. For 10 points, what Florentine (-5[1])Dominican convent (-5[1])houses Fra Angelico’s (10[1])Annunciation? ■END■ (10[3]0[19])

ANSWER: San Marco [accept San Marco Altarpiece; accept Museo Nazionale di San Marco; prompt on Santa Caterina di Cafaggio by asking “what larger complex was it part of?”; reject “Saint Mark’s”]
