Fra Angelico
October 26, 2005–January 29, 2006
Robert Lehman Wing
This first major exhibition of Fra Angelico’s work since the quincentenary exhibition of 1955 in Florence—and the first ever in this country—reunites approximately 75 paintings, drawings, and manuscript illuminations covering all periods of the artist’s career, from ca. 1410 to 1455. Included are several new attributions and paintings never before exhibited publicly, as well as numerous reconstructions of dispersed complexes, some reunited for the first time. An additional 45 works by Angelico's assistants and closest followers illustrate the spread and continuity of his influence into the second half of the 15th century.
The exhibition is made possible by the Homeland Foundation, Inc.
The exhibition catalogue is made possible in part by the Roswell L. Gilpatric Publications Fund.
The exhibition is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
