"St. James and Hermogenes" and "The Martyrdom of St. James" are two frescoes by the Early Renaissance Italian painter Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. These works are part of a series of frescoes painted by Fra Angelico in the 1440s for the Dominican convent of San Marco in Florence. The frescoes adorn the walls of the convent's cells and are considered some of the finest examples of Fra Angelico's artistry, reflecting his mastery of color and his deep religious conviction.

"St. James and Hermogenes" depicts a scene from the Golden Legend, a collection of hagiographies by Jacobus de Voragine, which was widely read in medieval Europe. The fresco illustrates the story of St. James the Great, one of the Twelve Apostles, who is said to have converted the magician Hermogenes to Christianity through a demonstration of miraculous power.

"The Martyrdom of St. James" portrays the subsequent fate of the apostle, who was martyred by King Herod Agrippa I according to the Acts of the Apostles (12:1-2). In this fresco, Fra Angelico captures the moment of St. James's execution, emphasizing the serenity and grace of the saint in the face of death.

Both frescoes are notable for their devotional character and the way in which Fra Angelico uses light and perspective to create a sense of depth and space. The works are exemplary of the artist's ability to convey complex theological ideas through simple and eloquent compositions. Today, they remain an important part of the artistic heritage of the San Marco convent, which has since been transformed into a museum preserving Fra Angelico's legacy.
