Fra Angelico was one of the principal painters of the Early Renaissance in Florence. First recorded as a painter in 1417, he entered the friary of San Domenico at Fiesole, near Florence, and later became its prior. He gave his contemplative art new realism and perspective, and is most famous for his frescoes in the friary of San Marco.
