		Fra Angelico, baptized Guido di Pietro, was born around 1400 in Vicchio, a Tuscan town near Florence.
		Fra Angelico managed, as if without trying, to simplify the sometimes rather fussy pageantry of late medieval painting without thinning it - he weeded it and gave it room to grow - and to unite heavenly sweetness with earthly truth as if any question as to their identity were ridiculous.
		Fra Angelico reconciled revolution and tradition by reconciling Masaccio's realism - the projection of figures in light and space on a monumental scale - with the essentially miniature technique of late medievalists such as his probable teacher, Lorenzo Monaco.
