Your peace with us, since Mars, who governs all
Affairs of savage war, will often fall
Into your lap, by constant love subdued"

A small room in the monastery of San Marco, in Florence, which features a great window for #FensterFreitag, and a fine fresco, by Fra Angelico, of the kiss of Judas and the arrest of Christ (painted sometime around 1440). I particularly like the black halo sported by Judas.
