| Fra Angelico (c.1400-55) was an Italian painter of the early Renaissance, born in Vicchio (Tuscany). In the early 1420s he became a Dominican monk in Fiesole. His order transferred to St Marks Convent in Florence in 1436 where he painted several frescoes. From 1445 to about 1450 he painted fresco cycles in the Vatican. Fra Angelico was an exclusively religious painter with an “angelic” nature, hence his popular name. One of his major works is ‘The Coronation of the Virgin’ in the Uffizi. |
