About the Book

Fra Angelico: San Marco gives listeners an understanding of the central role that this artist-friar's work played in the daily lives of his fellow Observant Dominicans. Between 1440 to 1452, Fra Angelico and his faithful assistants graced the walls of the Florence, Italy convent of San Marco with more than 50 elegant frescoes that, even today, convey the profound piety and humility that characterized members of the Observant Dominican order. Fra Angelico: San Marco is an audio adaptation of the now out-of-print book by the same title, written by William Hood, the renowned Fra Angelico scholar. Professor Hood's book was one in the series, The Great Fresco Cycles of the Renaissance, which George Brazillar & Co has licensed the audio rights to Jane's Smart Art Guide
