Fra’ Angelico and the Museum of San Marco - Florence

REGISTRATION REQUIRED! Click here to register

Travel virtually to Florence to explore the serene world of Fra’ Angelico and the spiritual beauty of the Museum of San Marco. Through a sequence of evocative slides, we’ll uncover the harmony between art, faith, and Renaissance innovation that makes this place truly unique.

You’ll learn how Cosimo de’ Medici transformed the monastery into a haven for Dominican friars, commissioning works that combined elegance and devotion. Our journey follows Fra’ Angelico’s artistic path, from his early altarpieces to the frescoes that adorn the monks’ cells — each one painted to inspire prayer and reflection.

As the slides reveal details of his most celebrated works — including The Annunciation, The Crucifixion, and Saint Dominic at the Foot of the Cross — you’ll see how his art captures divine light and human emotion with extraordinary simplicity.

Did you know? In this very period, Florence is hosting a major exhibition dedicated to Fra’ Angelico at Palazzo Strozzi and the Museum of San Marco — a wonderful occasion to celebrate and rediscover this Renaissance genius.

✨ Join us and experience the timeless light of Fra’ Angelico — a journey through art, devotion, and the heart of Florence.
