FD Of Blessed Fra Angelico (d 1455), Dominican friar and patron of artists. Many of his great murals painted for his Florentine monastery depict Dominicans and saints in foreground of holy scenes from life of Christ—mirroring the attitude of devotion they were supposed to inspire
Conversation
For Fra Angelico religious life was a life lived in the presence of Christ and emotionally engaged in the ongoing drama of redemption. It was this mystical vision that was communicated in his paintings with angelic purity.
