medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
As I recall Bill Hood's book on Fra Angelico, only 3 Dominican friars
were canonized by his time. Dominic, Peter Martyr & Aquinas appear
frequently in his art. I could not tell from the images whether any had
a Star (Dominic) or a bloody forehead (Peter).

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Usually St. Thomas is depicted with a sunburst on his habit. Also,
Albert wasn't canonized until 1931.

| Dear George,
|
| These were my initial assumptions, but two things get in the way for
me:
|
| 1) I don't know who the other saints portrayed in the altar piece
are, and maybe there are definite representations of Albert and Thomas
there; and
| 2) I think Thomas is usually portrayed as being a little on the, er,
zoftig side, isn't he?
