Image from object titled Madonna of Humility

Madonna of Humility

 
Madonna of Humility | Angelico, Fra
 

As a Dominican monk, Fra Angelico was not subject to the strict rules of the Florentine painters’ guild. He was thus free to develop a more personal style. This combined strong realism and solid forms with a certain sweetness partly derived from earlier Sienese and Florentine examples.
