Product Description
Fra Angelico (Fra Giovanni di Fiesole, c. 1390/95 - 1455) was the most celebrated religious painter of the early Italian Renaissance. This new monograph surveys Fra Angelico's entire career, from his little-known beginning as a lay painter through his work at San Marco in Florence after taking holy orders as a Dominican, and finally to his prestigious commissions at the Vatican and Orvieto Cathedral. The book includes reproductions of all of Fra Angelico's greatest works, including altarpieces, frescoes, and ceilings. It explores how Fra Angelico's religious devotion informed his work, contributing to its intensity and originality.

A classical art lover's treasury June 8, 2008
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Fra Angelico is a captivating showcase of the classical creations of Fra Giovanni de Fiesole (c. 1390/95-1455), one of the great painters of the early Italian Renaissance, especially known for his Christian artwork. Nearly 200 full color illustrations take the reader on a wondrous tour of Angelico's beautiful expressions of faith, while the text spares no detail in chronicling Angelico's life, inspiration, and legacy to later masters including Raphael, the Nazarenes, and the Symbolists. A classical art lover's treasury, enthusiastically recommended for public library and private artbook collections.
