| | Great Italians - Angelico, Fra - Italian painter of the early Renaissance. |
 | | 1400-1455), Italian painter of the early Renaissance, who combined the life of a devout friar with that of an accomplished painter. |
 | | He was originally called Guido di Pietro and was named Angelico (Italian "angelic") and Beato (Italian "blessed") because of the calm, religious subjects of his paintings and because of his extraordinary personal piety. |
 | | His skill in creating monumental figures, conveying a sense of motion, and suggesting depth through the use of linear perspective, especially in the Roman frescoes, mark him as one of the foremost painters of the Renaissance. |
