Accompanying the exhibition at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum,
Boston, this catalogue explores one of the most important artists
of the Renaissance. Fra Angelico (c. 1395-1455) transformed
painting in Florence with pioneering images, rethinking popular
compositions and investing traditional Christian subjects with new
meaning. His altarpieces and frescoes set new standards for quality
and ingenuity, contributing to Angelico's unparalleled fame on the
Italian peninsula. With the intellect of a Dominican theologian,
the technical facility of Florence's fi nest craftsmen and the
business acumen of its shrewdest merchants, he shaped the future of
painting in Italy and beyond. The exhibition reunites for the fi
rst time Fra Angelico's four reliquaries for Santa Maria Novella
(1424-34; Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Museo di San Marco,
Florence). Together they cover key episodes in the life of the
Virgin Mary and capture in miniature some of his most important
compositional innovations. Assembled at the Gardner with
exceptional examples of Angelico's narrative paintings from
collections in Europe and the United States, this exhibition
explores his celebrated talents as a storyteller and the artistic
contributions that shaped a new ideal of painting in Florence.
