Guido di Petro was born in 1387 in Tuscany, near Fiesole. While still very young, he joined the Observant Dominican order, making the vow of absolute poverty and obedience. His talent soon proved useful as he began to paint miniatures for missals and other religious books. In 1436, along with several other friars, he moved to the convent of San Marco in Florence. There he painted frescos in the cloister and in the chapel. His move to Florence established a fundamental change for him, as he was plunged into the effervescence of a major artistic centre under the protection of Medici family - the.;Fra Angelico's Early Training and hisWork in Cortona and Perugia; Stay and Work in Fiesole; Fra Angelico's Stay in Florence, andhis Murals at the Convento di San Marco; Outside Influences; The Paintings of the Last Judgmentand their Relationship with Dante'sPoetry; The Virgin Mary in the Paintingsof Fra Angelico; Works in Rome and Orvieto; The Final Years and Death of Fra Angelico; Bibliography; Notes; List of Artists; List of Illustrations.
