St. Vincent Ferrer

16th century
Fresco
Church of St. Peter Martyr, Murano, Italy

Vincent Ferrer was also known as Vincent of Valencia. Here he wears the black and white habit of the Dominican order. The flame on his right hand, representing the fervor of his preaching, is one of his attributes.

This is part of a decorative strip of several frescos below the clerestory in the church, all celebrating Dominican notables. They are in excellent condition because they were covered over for centuries and only rediscovered in the 1920s.
