In the translation of Geschichte der italienischen Malerei by Crowe and Cavalcaselle, Jordan says (II, p. 214): “In the foreground kneel the four bishops, Savinus and Ansanun, Crescentinus and Victor, the patron saints of the city, in adoration before the majesty of Mary.” In reality, it is one bishop and three martyrs who kneel. They are not in “adoration” of Mary, but of Christ.

In the guide to San Marco, Professor Fred Rodoni summarises the remarks we have just presented in the following terms, “Nelle mura di questo con vento è impressa la storia monumentale dei più gloriosi tempi dell’ arte fiorentina. L’Angelico chiude e riassum l’antica Scuola toscana del risorgimento: Frate Barolomeo della Porta rappresenta la Scuola moderna. Il primo il pittore dell’ idea, il secondo quella della forma. Grande ambidue e ornamento di questo bellissimo Cenobio che illustraono colla lora, dimora e coi loro dipinti.”
