The so-called Missal of Fra Beato Angelico is a luxurious prime example of #Quattrocento book #illumination in Florence. The missal, which contains the Ordinary of the mass as well as the prayers and hymns for the Christian feast days, was adorned with 51 striking #miniatures in rich colors and precious gold, beautiful historiated #initials and magnificent borders by two leading artists of the early Italian #Renaissance: Fra Angelico and Zanobi Strozzi, his most talented pupil according to Vasari. Fra Angelico, also known as Beato Angelico, was a Dominican monk in the Convent of San Domenico in Fiesole, where the artful #manuscript was created. The patron saint of the order and convent, St. Dominic, is accordingly given a special status, which is reflected in an extraordinarily sublime miniature. Fra Angelico and Zanobi Strozzi created an incomparable Quattrocento masterpiece that captivates with its opulent illuminations, vibrant colors and the great artistry of its masters.
