Fra Angelico


  • Palazzo Strozzi Piazza degli Strozzi Firenze, Toscana, 50123 Italy (map)

The Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco will showcase Beato Angelico through an exhibition dedicated to the artist who symbolizes 15th-century art. The exhibition explores the production, development, and influence of Beato Angelico's art and his relationships with painters such as Lorenzo Monaco, Masaccio, and Filippo Lippi, as well as sculptors such as Lorenzo.

Ghiberti, Michelozzo, and Luca della Robbia. Beato Angelico is the first major exhibition in Florence dedicated to the artist exactly seventy years after the 1955 monographic exhibition and offers a unique opportunity to explore the extraordinary artistic vision of the painter friar in relation to a profound religious sense, based on a meditation on the sacred in connection with the human.

The exhibition brings together over 140 works, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and miniatures from prestigious museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery in Washington, the Vatican Museums, the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well as Italian and international libraries and collections, churches, and local institutions. The result of over four years of preparation, the project has made possible an undertaking of exceptional scientific value and cultural importance.
