The Jacquemart-André Museum (Paris, France) holds an exhibition dedicated to Fra Angelico, a major figure of the Quattrocento. The Jacquemart-André Museum is the first French museum to pay tribute to Fra Angelico and reconsider this exceptional artist's career. The exhibition presents nearly 25 major works by Fra Angelico and a similar number of panels painted by some of his prestigious contemporaries, such as Lorenzo Monaco, Masolino, Paolo Uccello, Filippo Lippi and Zanobi Strozzi.
Fra Angelico (c.1400-1455) was a major player in Florence's artistic and cultural revolution at the beginning of the 15th century. His work combines the golden lustre inherited from Gothic style with a new understanding of perspective. He initiated the artistic movement which specialists have named the "Peintres de la Lumière" (painters of light).
The Fra Angelico and the Masters of Light exhibition is being held in partnership with major Italian museums -including the Uffizi Gallery-and internationally famous collections.
