Fra Angelico From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Fra Angelico This figure from the "Deposition from the Cross" is traditionally said to be a self-portrait of Fra Angelico. Museo San Marco, Florence. Birth name Guido di Pietro Born c. Tuscany Died February 18 Rome Italy Nationality Italian Field Painting Fresco Movement early Renaissance Fra Angelico (c. February 18 ), born Guido di Pietro , was an Early Italian Renaissance painter, referred to in Vasari 's Lives of the Artists as having "a rare and perfect talent". Known in Italy as il Beato Angelico , he was known to his contemporaries as Fra Giovanni da Fiesole (Brother John from Fiesole). In Giorgio Vasari ’s Lives of the Artists , written prior to 1555, he is already known as Fra Giovanni Angelico (Brother Giovanni the Angelic One). Within his lifetime or shortly thereafter he was also called Il Beato (the Blessed), in reference to his skills in painting religious subjects. In 1982 Pope John Paul II conferred beatification thereby making this title official. Fiesole is sometimes misinterpreted as being part of his formal name, but it was merely the name of the town where he took his vows, used by contemporaries to separate him from other Fra Giovannis. He is listed in the

(born c. 1387-1400, died 1455) See also: Renaissance Artists VIEW IMAGE LIST "Fra Angelico was a Dominican friar in the monastery at Fiesole. The convent of San Marco was taken over by his Order in 1436, and he was commissioned to decorate the friar's cells with frescoes painted directly on to wet plaster walls. These were intended to stimulate prayer and meditation rather than to be a factual record of the Biblical story. He wanted to represent the sacredness of Christ in all its glory and simplicity; although he understood the principles of perspective, as seen here in the rendition of the tomb door, these were often sacrificed for a simple style. In the nineteenth century Angelico's painting captured the imagination of the Pre-Raphaelites, who saw in them the charm of a pure faith. In this fresco , Christ appears to Mary Magdalene. She has been weeping after discovering that his tomb is empty. A figure appears. At first she mistakes him for a gardener as he is carrying a hoe. Suddenly realizing who it is, she goes to embrace him. But he moves away, telling her not to touch him - literally 'Noli Me Tangere'."

Angelico, Fra Angelico, Fra (Guido di Pietro) (c. 1400-55). Florentine painter, a Dominican friar. Although in popular tradition he has been seen as `not an artist properly so-called but an inspired saint' (Ruskin), Angelico was in fact a highly professional artist, who was in touch with the most advanced developments in contemporary Florentine art and in later life travelled extensively for prestigious commissions. He probably began his career as a manuscript illuminator, and his early paintings are strongly influenced by International Gothic . But even in the most lavishly decorative of them all the Annunciation in the Diocesan Museum in Cortona Masaccio's incluence is evident in the insistent perspective of the architecture. For most of his career Angelico was based in S. Domenico in Fiesole (he became Prior there in 1450), but his most famous works were painted at S. Marco in Florence (now an Angelico museum), a Sylvestrine monastry which was taken over by his Order in 1436. He and his assistants painted about fifty frescos in the friary (c.1438-45) that are at once the expression of and a guide to the spiritual life of the community. Many of the frescos are in the friars' cells and were intended as aids to devotion; with their immaculate coloring, their economy in drawing and composition, and their freedom from the accidents of time and place, they attain a sense of blissful serenity. In the last decade of his life Angelico also worked in Orvieto and Perugia, and most importantly in Rome, where he frescoed the private chapel of Pope Nicholas V in the Vatican with

Beato Fra Angelico: Patron of Artists On June 23, 1983, Pope John Paul II granted official cultus to Fra Angelico, who is now a Blessed with an office, a mass and obligatory memory (and now Patron of Artists). Fra Angelico, baptized Guido di Pietro, was born around 1400 in Vicchio, a Tuscan town near Florence. At the age of twenty, he entered the Dominican Order at the priory of San Domenico in Fiesole. He died in Rome on February 18, 1455 and is buried in Santa Maria sopra Minerva where his tomb remains an object of veneration. Was this remarkable priest a painter of the Middle Ages or the Renaissance? The answer varies with the preconceptions of the critics, many of whom consider him a painter of transition since he immortalizes in color the genius of Aquinas and Dante as well as that of Raphael and Leonardo. John Rubba, O.P. Fra Angelico John Canady The Lives of the Painters The Dominican motto "Contemplata aliis tradere" (to share what you have seen, have contemplated), reaches its zenith in Beato Angelico. The great contemporary mystic Adrienne von Speyr (+ 1967) sees Fra Angelico, while she is in an ecstatic state, being questioned by her spiritual director, and companion in mission, Fr. Hans Urs von Balthasar: "I see him (Adrienne smiles). He loves the Way that leads to God and is held in a continual contemplation of this Way. His whole prayer lives based on his Way, and if he has joined an order and has chosen God at all, it is to remain in his Way. And if he paints, then he always paints this Way. The saints he paints, the angels he presents, are all for him the expression of this Way. And in everything he experiences - even theological, philosophical, even if it is something extreme that remains incomprehensible to him - he can apparently only concur if it can be brought into harmony with this Way. As soon as he comes to the Way, everything is clear to him, and he would be very capable of drawing very subtle distinctions. It is as if God had designated him to represent this Way to Him. So everything is also related that is given to him is contemplation, everything that he experiences in prayer and in daily life, everything is referred to this Way leading to God.

Along with 63 other works, this masterpiece is part of the group of paintings on long-term loan from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum to the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona. In addition to The Madonna of Humility , the exhibition also provides the opportunity to see twelve further panel paintings normally on display in the Museum's galleries or in Barcelona. Fra Angelico was born near Vicchio (Tuscany) around 1395-1400 and began his artistic career as a miniaturist. Before he entered the Dominican Order his name was Guido di Piero. His first endeavours as a painter would seem to date from around the second half of 1410, and by the middle of the following decade he had begun to acquire a reputation in artistic circles. Guido di Piero entered the Dominican Order, taking the name of Fra Giovanni, at some point between 1418 and 1421 and he is mentioned for the first time as a friar at San Domenico in Fiesole in 1423. Among his early works is the altarpiece of The Virgin and Child enthroned with Saints Thomas of Aquinus, Barnabus, Dominic and Peter Martyr
