Deposition from the Cross, from the Strozzi Chapel in the church of Santa Trinita in Florence, now at the National Museum of San Marco in Florence. The altarpiece was commissioned from Lorenzo Monaco, who died after having painted only the predella and the cusps, while the central panel and pilasters were executed by Fra Angelico.

Tabernacle of the Linen Drapers, now at the National Museum of San Marco in Florence, formerly in the headquarters of the Linen Drapers' Guild. The painted panels are set within a marble tabernacle designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti. The panels depict at the center the Madonna Enthroned with Child and music-making angels, while on the doors are represented: on the inside Saint John the Baptist and Saint Mark, on the outside Saint Mark and Saint Peter.

Death and Assumption of the Virgin, painted reliquary from the series of four Reliquaries of the Virgin created by Fra Angelico for the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. This reliquary is preserved at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, while the other three are located at the National Museum of San Marco in Florence.
