(Guido di Pietro) (c. 1400-1455) Italian painter. He was a monk, active in Florence, painting religious scenes. His series of frescoes at the monastery of San Marco, Florence, was begun after 1436. He also produced several altarpieces in a style characterized by a delicacy of line and color.
Fra Angelico joined the Dominican order about 1420. After his novitiate, he resumed a career as a painter of religious images and altarpieces, many of which have small predella scenes beneath them, depicting events in the life of a saint. The central images of the paintings are highly decorated with pure, bright colors and gold-leaf designs, while the predella scenes are often lively and relatively unsophisticated. There is a similar simplicity to his frescoes in the cells at San Marco, which are principally devotional works. Fra Angelico’s later fresco sequences, Scenes from the Life of Christ and Scenes from the Lives of SS Stephen and Lawrence 1440s, are more elaborate. His full name is “il Beato Fra Giovanni Angelico da Fiesole”, “the Blessed Brother John the Angelic of Fiesole”.
Nothing is known of his training as a painter. He was no doubt involved, 1409–18, in the displacement of the brethren at Foligno and Cortona during the papal schism, but returned to the monastery at Fiesole, of which he became prior 1449. His first known work is the Madonna dei Linaiuoli (commissioned by the linen merchants) 1433, and another principal undertaking was his set of frescoes for the monastery of San Marco in Florence on its architectural restoration by Michelozzo, 1436–43. From 1445 he worked in Orvieto and Rome, to which Eugene IV summoned him. An existing chapel in the Vatican was decorated by him with scenes from the lives of St Stephen and St Lawrence, showing tendencies to a more elaborate style than that of his earlier works. This change may be attributed to his Renaissance surroundings in Rome. His art reflects a devotional character, and retains much that is Gothic rather than of the Renaissance in color and conception. As a colorist and designer, Fra Angelico was an exquisite master, and as well as the frescoes at Florence, such works as the Annunciation, painted for Fiesole and now in the Prado, and Christ Glorified, show a resplendent beauty.
