In June 1447 he proceeded to Orvieto, to paint in the Cappella Nuova of the cathedral, with the cooperation of his pupil Benozzo Gozzoli . He afterwards returned to Rome to paint the chapel of Nicholas V. In this capital he died in 1455, and he lies buried in the church of the Minerva. According to all the accounts which have reached us, few men on whom the distinction of beatification has been conferred could have deserved it more nobly than Fra Giovanni. He led a holy and self-denying life, shunning all advancement, and was a brother to the poor; no man ever saw him angered. He painted with unceasing diligence, treating none but sacred subjects; he never retouched or altered his work, probably with a religious feeling that such as divine providence allowed the thing to come, such it should remain He was wont to say that he who illustrates the acts of Christ should be with Christ. It is averred that he never handled a brush without fervent prayer and he wept when he painted a Crucifixion. The Last Judgment and the Annunciation were two of the subjects he most frequently treated.

Info Museums Patrons Restorations Fra Angelico and the Chapel of Nicholas V St. Lawrence brought before the Emperor Valerian, Fra Angelico (Vicchio- Florence, c. 1395 - Rome, 1455) The current restoration of the Chapel of Nicholas V has magnificently recovered the exceptional beauty of the frescoes and gives us the opportunity to understand and appreciate the great genius of one of Christianity's finest painters, Fra Angelico. It is thanks to the generosity and vision of Mrs. Florence D'Urso, the Homeland Foundation and the New York Patrons that this important restoration has been made possible. The chapel has been restored by world-renowned restorer, Carlo Giantomassi, his wife, Donatella Zari, and their assistants. The restoration involved the cleaning of all the frescoes. A major challenge was the restoration of the original blue color, which had been lost due to previous restorations. Subtle movements of the walls throughout the centuries had also created cracks that were refilled in the past. These had to be controlled to insure that they were not causing damage to the frescoes. Fire damage and vandalism are evident in some areas and remain as a testimony to the sack of Rome in 1527 by the mercenaries of Charles V.

Fra Angelico Fra Giovanni da Fiesole Fra Angelico , as he is known in English, is il Beato Angelico in Italian and was known to his contemporaries as Fra Giovanni da Fiesole . By the time Vasari published his "Lives of the Artists" in 1555, Fra Angelico was already known as Fra Giovanni Angelico (Brother John, the Angelic One). He was born Guido di Pietro, at Rupecanina, in Vicchio di Mugello, near Fiesole, some time around 1395 and died in Rome in 1455. The appellation "Beato" was a measure of the esteem in which his painting was held and not a reference to his beatification, which took place only in 1984. Fra Angelico was a Dominican and a mendicant, so, not being part of a closed order, he was free to meet and talk to others in the Florence. He initially trained as an illuminator and in 1420-1422, he entered the convent of San Domenico in Fiesole with his brother Benedetto. It was here that he produced his first known paintings: the Altarpiece of the Annunciation, The Coronation of the Virgin, as well as the frescoes for his monastery. Fra Angelico not only gained recognition as a painter but was held in high regard in his convent because he was appointed Vicario for the first time in Fiesole from 1432-33, a post he was to hold frequently in later years.

Imagine the surprise of art experts when two paintings by Italian Renaissance master Fra Angelico were found in November, 2006 behind a door in an apartment in Oxford, England. Fra Angelico (c. 1400-55) was a Dominican friar in the city of Florence. The paintings of Fra Angelico were influential in the artistic development of many Italian painters who followed him, most notably Masaccio The Fra Angelico paintings found were part of the famous San Marco Altarpiece . The church of San Marco was a Medici -sponsored church, and Fra Angelico executed these paintings ca. 1438. These panel paintings disappeared after the altarpiece was disassembled for cleaning during the Napoleonic wars.

DISCUSS Indepth Arts News: "Masterpieces from Fra Angelico to Bonnard The Collection Dr. Gustav Rau " 2001-10-05 until 2002-01-13 Haus der Kunst Munich, , DE Germany The Rau collection is one of the most important private art collections in Europe. Almost unknown until recently, it is now being presented in public for the first time at this exhibition. The entire collection, from Switzerland, comprises around 240 paintings of old masters, 160 from the 19th and 20th century, plus 220 sculptures, pieces of furniture and other art and craft objects. After the exhibition in Paris and Cologne, this priceless collection is now to be seen in its noticeably enlarged form in Haus der Kunst. A selection of 100 paintings demonstrates in an exemplary manner the development of European painting from the early Renaissance up to modern art. There is a broad spectrum of styles and themes, ranging from historic scenes and portraits to landscapes and still-life works. Thus the collection reflects both the collector’s desire for universality and his personal preferences. For many years, only a few people knew of the existence of the Rau collection, even though in the last few years important loans were often to be seen at international exhibitions. The collector himself, Gustav Rau, a medical, who had accumulated the works in over 30 years and, furthermore, made a name for himself through his extraordinary humanitarian engagement in Africa, always remained in the background.

Cosimo de' Medici (1389- 1464 (75)) (Cosimo il Vecchio), recently returned (in 1434) from exile in Venice, anxious to ingratiate himself with the locals, and also pushed by the Pope to do something for God to provide some soul balance to the mega wealth he was accumulating from being monopoly banker to the church, kicked out the friars in 1436 and ordered Michelozzo , his favourite architect, to put up this simple and beautiful building for a new Dominican convent (including a double cell for Cosimo himself). San Marco is now a museum housing many of the paintings and frescoes by Beato (more commonly known as Fra) Angelico (1395-1455 (60)) (who was a friar here), Fra Bartlomeo (1475 - 1517 (42)) (also a friar, who painted here half a century after Fra Angelico) and others.

home features giftpeople Bd. Fra Angelico Dominican Artist (1395?-1455) by Robert Ellsberg Legend tells us that Fra Angelico never took up his brush to paint without first making a prayer. To behold the luminosity of his work convinces us this must be true and further, that the act of painting itself was prayer. He hoped in his works to evoke feelings of devotion to God in all who saw them. Now, as we move ahead into this new year, can we answer the call to bring Fra Angelico's mystical vision to all aspects of our lives: to the things we make, the activities we undertake, the relationships we share? As Rainer Maria Rilke wrote, "Already in the taking up of the tool there is prayerfulness." Linda Fisher Fra Angelico was one of the great early precursors of the Florentine Renaissance. His frescos and paintings featured vivid color, startlingly lifelike portraits, an ingenious use of perspective, and realistic backgrounds. But for all their stunning beauty and technical virtuosity, the artist's primary end was not the aesthetic but the religious impact of his work. What makes his painting religious is not the subject matter but their intended purpose in exciting the viewer to feelings of religious devotion. In one picture of the crucifixion St. Dominic himself kneels at the foot of the cross, his eyes fixed in grief-stricken adoration of the Holy Wounds. Likewise, in a painting of the heavenly Coronation of the Virgin, the scene is embraced by a cloud of holy witnesses, all kneeling with arms raised in an attitude of prayer. In a particularly haunting depiction of the mocking of Christ, the blindfolded Savior is beset by a swarm of disembodied hands, while in the foreground sit the Blessed Mother, lost in private meditation, and St. Dominic, contemplating an open book in his lap.

Fra Angelico From LoveToKnow 1911 FRA ANGELICO Italian painter. Il Beato Fra Giovanni Angelico da Fiesole is the name given to a far-famed painter- friar of the Florentine state in the 15th century, the representative, beyond all other men, of pietistic painting . He is often, but not accurately, termed simply "Fiesole," which is merely the name of the town where he first took the vows; more often Fra Angelico. If we turn his compound designation into English, it runs thus - "the Beatified Friar John the Angelic of Fiesole." In his lifetime he was known no doubt simply as Fra Giovanni or Friar John; "The Angelic" is a laudatory term which was assigned to him at an early date, - we find it in use within thirty years after his death; and, at some period which is not defined in our authorities, he was beatified by due ecclesiastical process. His baptismal name was Guido, Giovanni being only his name in religion. He was born at Vicchio, in the Tuscan province of Mugello, of unknown but seemingly well-to-do parentage, in 1387 (not 1390 as sometimes stated); in 1407 he became a novice in the convent of S. Domenico at Fiesole, and in 1408 he took the vows and entered the Dominican order. Whether he had previously been a painter by profession is not certain, but may be pronounced probable. The painter named Lorenzo

Their talent grants them license. They get to break the rules and get close to naked models and lead unfettered lives. Glowing like a halo around Fra Angelico (c. 1390-1455) is the opposite idea. Riches of Heaven: "The Annunciatory Angel" from the New York exhibition of the Renaissance master's works. (Detroit Institute Of Arts) More than 70 of his paintings, heavenly in color, are now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They do what they were meant to do, they fill your mind with shining. His Virgins sit on golden thrones, cloth of gold is everywhere, his angels dance in starry space in gold-embroidered gowns. Fra Angelico himself seemed to have about him a suggestion of sanctity. His artist friends remarked on it. The Vatican has noted it. By all accounts a humble, warm, obedient man, he got about as close as busy painters get to the company of the saints. When Fra Angelico was born in the Mugello, north of Florence, the Gothic Middle Ages were already fading. When he died awash in honor 550 years ago, what we know as the High Renaissance was already in full bloom. His paintings build a bridge, delicate and gilded, between those realms.

Seed Newsvine FRA ANGELICO: THE VIEW FROM WITHIN Staff Report NEW YORK, 1 NOVEMBER 2005 —In 1984, Fra Angelico was beatified —the first step in the process toward sainthood—by Pope John Paul II, who also decreed him the patron of artists. Small wonder when one contemplates the exquisite and deeply moving wooden altar panels by the Dominican friar on view until 29 January 2006 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. And while much of Angelico's enduring popularity rests on his frescoes—especially those painted in the dormitory cells at the convent of San Marco in Florence and in the Chapel of Pope Nicholas V in the Vatican—and on altarpieces too large or too fragile to be safely transported, the nearly complete selection of his works of smaller scale on display manage to give some idea of the entire range of the development of his genius over the full course of his career. Born in the countryside north of Florence, Guido di Pietro was already an established artist when he joined the Dominican order sometime between 1419 and 1422, taking for himself the name Fra Giovanni. He received commissions for important altarpieces from his own monastery San Domenico in Fiesole, from other Dominican houses in Florence, Cortona, and Perugia, and from religious institutions as far away as Brescia in the north of Italy and Orvieto and Rome to the south.
