**REGISTRATION REQUIRED!** **[Click here to register](https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/7017624421303/WN_XOPkoV7LRA6X-mI0YxeLzQ)**

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.
