The University Art Gallery The Lochoff Cloister Nicholas Lochoff (d.1948) after Fra Angelico (Florentine, 1400?-1455) ST. PETER MARTYR ENJOINING SILENCE Original (after 1438)in the Cloister of San Marco, Florence Fresco The original is in the lunette over the door that leads from the cloister into the sacristy and from there into the Church of San Marco. The Dominicans, who had taken over San Marco in 1436, rebuilt the deteriorating buildings around the church with the financial support of Cosimo de' Medici. Fra Angelico and his workshop decorated the cloister, monks' cells, and supporting buildings, and painted the altarpiece for the church. The knife in St. Peter Martyr's back and the bleeding wound on his head refer to his martyrdom, which occurred because of his harsh rule as Inquisitor-General. He was the second most important saint to the Dominicans, after Dominic. Here, he enjoins silence from the monks who are entering the church from the cloister. Text by Robert Gerwing.

Help Fra Angelico A Special Exhibition Review by Stan Parchin About the show: Laurence Kanter, Curator-in-Charge of the Robert Lehman Collection, has mounted Fra Angelico at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art with sheer majesty. His two-level special exhibition in The Met's Robert Lehman Wing, its premiere architectural extension, is devoted to the outstanding career of the fifteenth-century Italian Renaissance master and his followers. The show celebrates the artistic genius of Fra Angelico (ca. 1390/95-1455), the Dominican friar whose ingenuity in painting resonated throughout parts of fifteenth-century Italy. Fra Angelico displays many of the pious painter's small-scale religious works. Modern scholarship has freed the Frate from the cloak of previously conceived academic conservatism. Recent archival and scientific advances have revealed Fra Angelico's true inventiveness. Sections from some of Fra Angelico's altarpieces have been reunited at The Met for the first time since their creation. More than 50 American and European public institutions and private collections contributed to this monumental exhibition. The show features more than 70 of Fra Angelico's paintings, drawings and manuscript illuminations, spanning his entire career, plus an additional 45 works painted by five of his assistants and closest followers.

Write to the Magazine No period in art is named after Fra Angelico, but his achievement is arguably more profoundalbeit more elusivethan Masaccio's. The difference between the two quattrocento masters is essentially the difference between two kinds of illusion. Masaccio discovered how convincingly to make a two-dimensional figure on a flat plane look like a three-dimensional object in real space. Fra Angelico discovered how convincingly to create the illusion of a living figure whose exterior features express an inner spiritual statethe look of love, a state of devotion or one of anguish. It was in the depiction of interiority that Hegel believed painting had found its highest vocation, one that, moreover, distinguished the art of the Christian era from that of the classical era, whose defining medium was sculpture. A Greek statue of Aphrodite embodies the idea of erotic love but tells us nothing about what is going on inside her mind. What Hegel describes as "the spiritual depth of feeling, the bliss and grief of the heart" would not have been in the Greek repertory. It would simply have been taken for granted that mothers and their offspring are bonded through love. Christianity demanded that paintings of the Madonna visually depict this love. Thus Hegel contrasts those pictures with an Egyptian image of Isis holding her child, Horus, on her knees:

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

Fra Angelico (Guido di Pietro) Early Renaissance paintings Fra Angelico was one of the most celebrated artists of the early Renaissance. A Dominican monk, based in Florence, all his art was religious. Though nothing is known of his training he appeared to clearly understand the innovations of Masaccio. This is evident in an early painting, Annunciation (Cortona, Diocesan Museum), probably dating from the late I420s, where the architecture of the loggia, which has a single vanishing point. The Coronation of the Virgin was painted in the 1430s for his own convent at San Domenico in Fiesole. It shows a clarity of colour in the Gothic tradition. An understanding of Masaccio's frescoes is displayed in Crucifixion with St. Dominic . The simple humanity of Christ, in extremis, with his head sunk is reminiscent of Masaccio's alterpiece at Pisa. In 1438 Angelico and his assistants began his greatest work, the decoration of his monastery in Florence, now a superb museum dedicated to his work. In scenes intended for meditation (many are in the monks' cells) he achieved a sense of blissful, radiant simplicity and great emotional directness.

Didi-Huberman traces this disruptive impulse through theological writings and iconographic evidence and identifies a widespread tradition in Renaissance art that ranges from Giotto's break with Byzantine image-making well into the sixteenth century. He reveals how the techniques that served this ultimately religious impulse may have anticipated the more abstract characteristics of modern art, such as color fields, paint spatterings, and the absence of color.

Saints O'the Day March 18 Blessed Fra Angelico, OP (PC) Born in Mugello near Florence, Italy, in 1386 or 1387; died in Rome, Italy, in 1455. Guido da Vicchio's innate talent for art was supplemented by the natural beauty of his native Tuscany. He studied under several master artists when Italy was most conscious of the spirit of Giotto and Cimabue, and their influence was always to give a certain unearthly aspect to his paintings. When he was still quite young, and already a recognized artist, he entered the Dominican monastery at Fiesole with his brother Benedetto in 1407. It is a tribute to the ability and sanctity of both brothers that their names stand out in such distinguished company, for some of the greatest men of the order were housed in the same priory: Blesseds John Dominici Peter Capucci , and Lawrence of Ripafratta (f.d. September 28), and St. Antoninus of Florence . The latter, when he was appointed archbishop, was to commission some of the two artists' finest work. Few personal details are known about Brother John of the Angels, who is known as Fra Angelico in secular history. He was a priest. His painting in Florence was sufficiently well-known and admired to merit his being called to Rome to decorate the Chapel of Nicholas V at the Vatican. In 1449, he was appointed prior of San Marco, which he decorated with his wonderful paintings, and held that office for three years.

37. Haber's Art Reviews: Fra Angelico Review by John Haber of fra angelico at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, with a look at the early Renaissance in Italy. http://www.haberarts.com/angelico.htm

Angels and Storm Clouds John Haber in New York City Fra Angelico Fra Angelico offers an embarrassment of riches, even beyond his sultry blues, pinks, and gold. In a show dedicated to the early Renaissance painter, the Met displays not just three stages in career but practically three distinct artists. I do not even count the glimpses of his probable teacher, Lorenzo Monaco, or the room above devoted to barely known followers. That still leaves three enigmatic figures. The Met first imagines a young artist, still struggling with the Gothic and embracing the shock of an entirely new art. Next it shows a successful master of modest panels, bringing the new style to an audience attuned to the old-fashioned decorative fancy of multiple-panel altarpieces. Last, it evokes an older painter, finding his personal reconciliation of narrative coherence and visions of the godhead. Together, the three compose a rare and beautiful exhibition. Like the star of the show himself, they could also sum up the first half-century of the Italian Renaissance. But how many of them really represent Fra Angelico? A one-way ticket Sure, I wish I could say that you will see the frescoes in Florence, at the Museum of San Marco, begun soon after the Dominican convent's founding in 1436. Perhaps anyone who pays full adult admission should receive a ticket to Italy on the way out. Angelico has transformed one building into another, cell by cell, envisioning a Renaissance architecture still in the making. He embraces and extends Michelozzo's cutting-edge design, creating room after room of spare, solid walls and columns. They could hardly have less in common with the continuous circle of the Met's Robert Lehman wing.
