Extractions: Early Renaissance Fra Angelico was one of the most celebrated artists of the early Renaissance. A Dominican monk, based in Florence, all his art was religious. Though nothing is known of his training he appeared to clearly understand the innovations of Masaccio. This is evident in an early painting, Annunciation (Cortona, Diocesan Museum), probably dating from the late I420s, where the architecture of the loggia, which has a single vanishing point. The Coronation of the Virgin was painted in the 1430s for his own convent at San Domenico in Fiesole. It shows a clarity of colour in the Gothic tradition. An understanding of Masaccio's frescoes is displayed in Crucifixion with St. Dominic . The simple humanity of Christ, in extremis, with his head sunk is reminiscent of Masaccio's alterpiece at Pisa. In 1438 Angelico and his assistants began his greatest work, the decoration of his monastery in Florence, now a superb museum dedicated to his work. In scenes intended for meditation (many are in the monks' cells) he achieved a sense of blissful, radiant simplicity and great emotional directness.

Bl. fra angelico as an artist.
http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/angelico/

Extractions: Angelico, Fra (Guido di Pietro) (c. 1400-55). Florentine painter, a Dominican friar. Although in popular tradition he has been seen as `not an artist properly so-called but an inspired saint' (Ruskin), Angelico was in fact a highly professional artist, who was in touch with the most advanced developments in contemporary Florentine art and in later life travelled extensively for prestigious commissions. He probably began his career as a manuscript illuminator, and his early paintings are strongly influenced by International Gothic . But even in the most lavishly decorative of them all the Annunciation in the Diocesan Museum in Cortona Masaccio's incluence is evident in the insistent perspective of the architecture. For most of his career Angelico was based in S. Domenico in Fiesole (he became Prior there in 1450), but his most famous works were painted at S. Marco in Florence (now an Angelico museum), a Sylvestrine monastry which was taken over by his Order in 1436. He and his assistants painted about fifty frescos in the friary (c.1438-45) that are at once the expression of and a guide to the spiritual life of the community. Many of the frescos are in the friars' cells and were intended as aids to devotion; with their immaculate coloring, their economy in drawing and composition, and their freedom from the accidents of time and place, they attain a sense of blissful serenity. In the last decade of his life Angelico also worked in Orvieto and Perugia, and most importantly in Rome, where he frescoed the private chapel of Pope Nicholas V in the Vatican with

Extractions: Tempera on wood, cm 80x216 Inv. 1890, n. 447 In last years the painting has been ascribed to different artists, among them are Paolo Uccello and Gherardo Starnina; recently it has been proposed as a youthful work by Beato Angelico. Title refers to the hermitage was near Tebe, in Egypt: the picture illustrates the life of hermits in many isolated scenes painted with narrative taste. Busy monks, intent on their various works, are here shown in many amusing scenes, while the landscape around them is almost dream-like.

http://www.cityofthelord.org/members/liturgicalenvirons/Fra_Angelico\default.htm

Extractions: The Home Page of the Fra Angelico Guild of Catholic Artists and Architects, an institute founded to promote the sacred arts and to provide a network resource for parishes and artists. Under the Patronage of Blessed Fra Angelico c NEW! Pope John Paul II's Letter to Artists, 4 April 1999 Mission Statement The FRA ANGELICO GUILD OF CATHOLIC ARTISTS AND ARCHITECTS is an apostolate in service of the Church through the development of artistic and architectural theory and praxis. Her mission is to train artists and architects in their noble vocations, to provide a forum for all concerned with the liturgical environment and Catholic cultural expression, and to provide a resource for parishes needing artistic and architectural assistance. Critique of the Times The last two centuries have seen an acceleration of cultural, technological, and artistic change. Modern culture has discarded tradition, values only innovation, and is barely able to discuss the classical ideas of the true, the beautiful, and the good. Nowhere is such a shift of this cultural ethos more of a cause for concern than in the realm of religious art and architecture; through which art is called to communicate transcendent truth and to contribute to the formation, inspiration, and edification of the faithful. Over preceding centuries a subtle, complex, and rich language of artistic form and expression developed to embody and communicate the truths of the faith. Up until this century, this continuity of expression succeeded in preserving the fundamental principles of Christian civilization. Sadly, this century has witnessed a radical deviation from this tradition and, as a result, religious art has largely lost its symbolic relevance and become absorbed in the realm of subjective aesthetic values. Generally speaking, churches and religious art are no longer designed with the sense of divine beauty, and are no longer concerned with theological truth. Why? Artists and architects today have largely lost the understanding of how art and architecture can participate in the sacramentality of the material order. The recovery of these principles is needed to build again integrated places of worship which are beautiful, meaningful, and transcendent.

Masterpieces from fra angelico to Bonnard The Collection Dr. Gustav Rau Hausder Kunst The Rau collection is one of the most important private art
http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2001/10/08/29211.html

Extractions: The Rau collection is one of the most important private art collections in Europe. Almost unknown until recently, it is now being presented in public for the first time at this exhibition. The entire collection, from Switzerland, comprises around 240 paintings of old masters, 160 from the 19th and 20th century, plus 220 sculptures, pieces of furniture and other art and craft objects. After the exhibition in Paris and Cologne, this priceless collection is now to be seen in its noticeably enlarged form in Haus der Kunst. A selection of 100 paintings demonstrates in an exemplary manner the development of European painting from the early Renaissance up to modern art. There is a broad spectrum of styles and themes, ranging from historic scenes and portraits to landscapes and still-life works. Thus the collection reflects both the collectors desire for universality and his personal preferences. For many years, only a few people knew of the existence of the Rau collection, even though in the last few years important loans were often to be seen at international exhibitions. The collector himself, Gustav Rau, a medical, who had accumulated the works in over 30 years and, furthermore, made a name for himself through his extraordinary humanitarian engagement in Africa, always remained in the background.

http://www.vatican.va/museums/patrons/documents/vm_pat_doc_12101999_fraangelico_

Extractions: Fra Angelico (Vicchio- Florence, c. 1395 - Rome, 1455) The current restoration of the Chapel of Nicholas V has magnificently recovered the exceptional beauty of the frescoes and gives us the opportunity to understand and appreciate the great genius of one of Christianity's finest painters, Fra Angelico. It is thanks to the generosity and vision of Mrs. Florence D'Urso, the Homeland Foundation and the New York Patrons that this important restoration has been made possible. Fra Angelico was born around 1395 in a village northeast of Florence and settled in Florence in 1417 where he trained as a manuscript illuminator. Fra Angelico's most important early commissions were for Dominican churches and convents in Tuscany and Umbria. By the early 1430's he was working for non-Dominican patrons as well and had begun to receive major commissions from prestigious clients. In 1984, he was beatified by Pope John Paul II who proclaimed him patron saint of artists. Fra Angelico is buried in Rome at the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva. Fra Angelico probably began the decoration of the Chapel of Nicholas V in 1448 and may have completed it by 1449, which marked the initiation of a period in the Vatican of embellishment and renovation that was continuous until the sack of Rome by the troops of Charles V in 1527. In the chapel, he painted scenes from the life of Saint Stephen, the first martyr of the Church of Jerusalem, and St. Lawrence, the first martyr of the Church of Rome.
