Fra Angelico

Italian, 1400–1455

Fra Angelico (c. 1395–1455), nascido Guido di Pietro em Vicchio, perto de Fiesole, foi um pintor italiano e frade dominicano do início do Renascimento florentino. Ele pintou temas religiosos ao longo de sua carreira e criou afrescos e altares para o convento de San Marco em Florença, trabalhando sob o patrocínio de Cosimo de' Medici. Ele também completou encomendas em Roma para os Papas Eugênio IV e Nicolau V. Fra Angelico foi reconhecido por ser pioneiro no uso da perspectiva linear e maior atenção à profundidade e forma, e foi beatificado em 1982 e nomeado patrono dos artistas em 1984.
