The Dominican observants, San Marco, and the painter-friar -- The San Marco frescoes : The frescoes in the first set of friars' cells -- The frescoes in the cloister and chapter house -- The frescoes in the north corridor -- The frescoes in the other cells -- The last work: the Madonna of the Shadows -- Restoration and conservation of the frescoes / Giorgio Bonsanti.
This magnificent book is an unprecedented record of the frescoes as they appear today, after a long and successful campaign of restoration that is described by Giorgio Bonsanti. An introduction to the building, and to the painter, is followed by a fully illustrated survey of every picture, with details shown in actual size. Enabling us to come closer than ever before to his work, Fra Angelico: The San Marco Frescoes reveals the artist's tenderness and strength, his freshness of colour and his extraordinary luminosity and subtlety of modelling, and is a superb visual record of this great artistic and spiritual ensemble.
