There is someone else between St. Francis (stigmata) and St. Jerome. Who is he?

Albert the Great?

And I was wondering if the one before St. Dominic was St. Benedict?

I think you're right and I'm wrong. Looking at a number of images of Benedict and Bernard, most of Bernard show him without a beard, and most of those which do, don't have a 'split' beard like this.

This is Fra Angelico's The Coronation of the Virgin, and the Web Gallery page says the saints are St Thomas, St Benedict, St Dominic, St Francis, St Peter the Martyr and St Mark.

I got the first four right. I never would have guessed St. Peter the Martyr or St. Mark.

Speaking of Fra Angelico, there is a wonderful exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York of some of his works. Over here (I hope the link works) is one of the angels. In person, there seems to be a supernatural light emanating from the canvas. It is quite breathtaking.
