Fra Angelico

Italian, 1400–1455

Fra Angelico (c. 1395–1455), nacido Guido di Pietro en Vicchio cerca de Fiesole, fue un pintor italiano y fraile dominico del temprano Renacimiento florentino. Pintó temas religiosos a lo largo de su carrera y creó frescos y retablos para el convento de San Marco en Florencia, trabajando bajo el patrocinio de Cosimo de' Medici. También completó encargos en Roma para los Papas Eugenio IV y Nicolás V. Fra Angelico fue reconocido por ser pionero en el uso de la perspectiva lineal y una mayor atención a la profundidad y la forma, y fue beatificado en 1982 y nombrado patrón de los artistas en 1984.
