Angel Making Music
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating masterpiece created by the renowned Italian painter, Fra Angelico, also known as Fra Giovanni da Fiesole, around 1433. This exquisite tempera on panel painting is currently housed in the San Marco Museum in Florence, Italy, and is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Florentine School during the Renaissance period. The painting depicts an angel in a serene and ethereal setting, engaged in the act of making music. The angel holds a lute in his left hand, his fingers poised above the strings, while his right hand cradles a book that appears to contain musical notation. The delicate curves and intricate details of the musical instrument are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing Fra Angelico's exceptional skill as a painter. The angel's expression is one of deep concentration, as if lost in the beauty of the music he is creating. His wings are spread out behind him, creating a sense of motion and movement, while the soft, muted colors of the background add to the overall sense of tranquility and otherworldliness. This painting is believed to be part of a larger work, the Tabernacle of the Linaioli, which was originally located in the Convent of San Marco in Florence. The Tabernacle was a series of painted panels that decorated the walls of the convent's chapel, and was designed to inspire devotion and contemplation in the monks who worshipped there. "Angel Making Music" is a stunning example of Fra Angelico's ability to capture the divine in his art, and is a beloved work of the Florentine School that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, the intricate details of the musical instrument, and the serene expression of the angel all combine to create a work of art that transcends time and captivates the imagination.
