Reviews

[Eric Heinze · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent guide to Renaissance master.

[Kevin de Ataíde · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fair biography of the fifteenth century Dominican artist, followed by several of his works with small introductions. My real reason for picking this book up was my fascination with Fra Angelico's iconography and the devotion that brought it to life.
