 Cappella Niccolina The Cappella Niccolina is located in one of the oldest parts of the Palazzi Pontefici. Its name is derived from its patron, Pope Nicholas V (r. 1447-55), who had it built for use as his private chapel. Nicholas V commissioned the Florentine artist, Fra Angelico (c. 1395-1455), to paint the frescoes in the chapel. They depict scenes from the lives of St. Stephen (upper level) and St. Lawrence (lower level).  East wall  St Stephen being led to His Martyrdom; Stoning of St Stephen Comments are closed.
