Madonna dell'umiltà — Storia e analisi

Come monaco domenicano, Fra Angelico non era soggetto alle rigide regole della corporazione dei pittori fiorentini. Era quindi libero di sviluppare uno stile più personale. Questo combinava un forte realismo e forme solide con una certa dolcezza in parte derivata da esempi senesi e fiorentini precedenti.
