EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Italian Early Renaissance painter, Fra Angelico. Born as Guido di Pietro in 1395, he was a Dominican friar whose artistic talent earned him the name "Angelic Friar". The portrait captures his dignified presence and deep devotion to Christianity. Fra Angelico carried out numerous commissions in Florence and Rome, including works for Pope Eugene IV. His masterpieces reflected his profound religious beliefs and his ability to infuse spirituality into every brushstroke. This photograph allows us to glimpse into the soul of a man who dedicated his life to both God and art. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this image, emphasizing the enduring impact of Fra Angelico's contributions during the 15th century Renaissance period. It is a testament to his skill that even in the 20th century, over four centuries after his passing, we still admire and appreciate his work. This particular print comes from Samuel L. Bensusan's book "Fra Angelico - Masterpieces in Colour" published by T. C. & E. C Jack with Frederick A. Stokes Co. , London & New York around 1909. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of Fra Angelico's significant role in shaping art history through his profound faith and exceptional talent.
