EDITORS COMMENTS
Angel Making Music: A Visionary Masterpiece by Fra Angelico The ethereal figure of an angel, bathed in celestial light, gracefully strums a lute in this exquisite painting by Fra Angelico, titled "Angel Making Music," from the Tabernacle of the Linaioli. Created around 1433, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Florentine School during the Renaissance period. Fra Angelico, born Giovanni di Mariano di Nicolao, was an Italian Dominican friar and painter, renowned for his delicate and spiritual artworks. This painting, now housed in the San Marco Museum in Florence, Italy, showcases his exceptional talent in capturing the divine and the human in perfect harmony. The angel, with its serene expression and diaphanous wings, appears to be lost in the music, creating a sense of tranquility and reverence. The intricately detailed musical instrument, a lute, lies in the angel's hands, its strings vibrating with the melodic tones of heavenly music. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, achieved through the use of tempera on panel, adds depth and texture to the painting. The Tabernacle of the Linaioli, a series of twelve paintings, was commissioned by the Linaioli family for their private chapel. Each painting depicted a biblical scene, with this one representing the angelic host praising God through music. The harmonious blend of spirituality, artistry, and music in this painting continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day. This visionary work of art, with its intricate details and divine beauty, is a testament to the transformative power of music and the sublime artistry of Fra Angelico. It serves as a reminder of the transcendent qualities of art and the enduring influence of the Renaissance period on Western art and culture.
