"(...)The original is in the lunette over the door that leads from the cloister into the sacristy and from there into the Church of San Marco. The Dominicans, who had taken over San Marco in 1436, rebuilt the deteriorating buildings around the church with the financial support of Cosimo de' Medici. Fra Angelico and his workshop decorated the cloister, monks' cells, and supporting buildings, and painted the altarpiece for the church. The knife in St. Peter Martyr's back and the bleeding wound on his head refer to his martyrdom, which occurred because of his harsh rule as Inquisitor-General. He was the second most important saint to the Dominicans, after Dominic. Here, he enjoins silence from the monks who are entering the church from the cloister..."
