Features: As a painter, Brother Angelico, his works are more reflective of his vibrant personality than inspired by the calm religious life. Although his paintings are all religious themes, with most figures being saints and angels, Brother Angelico always liked to portray these figures as representations of real, living humans in the real world.

The main content of this book includes detailed discussions on the artist's career, the monk painter, style and technique, a pioneer of the Renaissance, close-ups of famous works, the Annunciation, selected works explained, the Deposition of the Body, the Last Judgment, the Transfiguration of Christ, St. Lawrence receiving the Holy Eucharist and alms, St. Stephen preaching and speaking in the Jewish court, world-famous art museums, and the San Marco Monastery Museum, among other detailed content.
