Fra Angelico

Fra Angelico was an Italian painter from the Early Renaissance. He was born between 1387 et 1395 and died on February 18, 1455. Vasari wrote in his book Lives of the Artists that he had "a rare and perfect talent." His main claim to fame was the series of frescoes he painted for his own friary in Florence, which was called San Marco.
Fra Giovanni da Fiesole (Brother John of Fiesole) and Fra Giovanni Angelico were names that people of his time knew him by (Angelic Brother John). Beato Angelico means "Blessed Angelic One" in modern Italian, and Fra Angelico means "Angelic Friar".
In 1982, Pope John Paul II called him "Blessed" because of how holy he had been throughout his life. This made the title "Blessed" official. Fiesole is sometimes thought to be part of his full name, but it was just the name of the town where he took his vows as a Dominican friar. His contemporaries used it to tell him apart from other people who were also called Fra Giovanni. In the Roman Martyrology, he is called Beatus Ioannes Faesulanus, cognomento Angelicus, which means "Blessed John of Fiesole," or "the Angelic."
Vasari said about Fra Angelico, "It is impossible to praise this holy father too much, because he was so humble and modest in everything he did and said, and because he painted pictures with such skill and faith."
