This work is linked to Matthew 5:2

 

This is one of the frescoes Fra Angelico painted on the cell walls of the San Marco Convent, Florence. This one is in cell 32.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus offers his interpretation of the Ten Commandments and other elements from the Old Testament. There is an obvious resemblance to Moses descending the mountain.

There is some symbolism in the colours in Jesus's clothes. The red is for blood and thus symbolizes his human side, while the blue symbolizes divinity.

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus handed out the rules that would become the Christian guidelines. Opposite this fresco Rosselli made a fresco where Moses receives the Tables with the Law: the Jewish guidelines.

To the right another episode is shown: the healing of a leper.
