Fra Angelico: Colour Library

by Christopher Lloyd

Book Overview

Fra Angelico (c. 1400-55) is one of the most popular artists of the early Italian Renaissance. In his own lifetime churches and cathedrals competed for his work, and the style he evolved has come to be regarded as the natural language of religious painting. For more than a century the popular image of an angel has been that of an angel by Fra Angelico.

Perhaps his best known work is the series of fresco decorations in the convent of San Marco...

Nice, Larger Size

This is a beautiful hardcover book from a German publisher. The paper quality is excellent and the color plates, all are color, is exceptional. It is 12.75 x 11 inches, thus making the details really pop! Make sure this is the English language version if that is what you want, the cover is shown as in the French language edition. Enjoy!
