## Commentary

According to Vasari, the conventional style of this large fresco in the refectory of the San Marco convent was imposed by the Dominican patrons, who rejected Sogliani&#39;s own more modern design on the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes. Finally the artist produced a more pedantic and restrained subject, entitled St Dominic and his Friars Fed by Angels, which contains added portraits and saints, as well as a Crucifixion. In comparison with the drawing it is static and disunified. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 4 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/19\_cent/franck\_panis.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;César Franck: Panis angelicus&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;
