Moreover, in other pictures painted by Fra Angelico about this time we find portraits of living personages, friends, and associates of his own. What is more likely than that he M should have painted the portrait of an artistic colleague for whom he evidently had a very great admiration? If, then, this figure with a black capuchon be a portrait of Michelozzo, as I hold it is, we have here another clue to the date of the picture. According to this representation, he would appear to have been about forty-five to fifty years old when the " Deposition " was painted. As Michelozzo is believed to have been born in 1396, this would place the execution of the picture between the years 1441 and 1446; and that is just the period to which considerations of style would lead us to assign it. There is another picture1 closely allied to this in which the portrait of Michelozzo occurs, and that is the dead Christ which the artist painted for the Confraternity of the Temple,2 and which is now in the Florentine Academy. It is in every way a much inferior work to the " Deposition," and the only really charming passage in it is the landscape with its distant hills and tranquil evening sky. "t-These three pictures, then--that is, the San Marco altar-piece and the two " Depositions " of Sta. Trinita and the Confraternity of the Temple--are the principal works in tempera of Fra Angelico's third period. We now come to the consideration of the monumental task which occupied the friar for the greater part of the time of his residence at S. Marco. Fra Angelico, we are told, began to decorate the walls of the new convent before the building was quite finished; but he cannot very well have set to work there until the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fra Angelico Some six or seven years ago I began to make the art of Fra Angelico a special subject of study. In course of time, becoming more and more intimately acquainted with the master through his works, the conviction came to me that the popular conception of him was mistaken au fond, and that, as an artist, Fra Angelico had never received fair and adequate treatment. The present work owes its inception to that fact. In seeking to reconstruct for myself his artistic personality, I have not put trust in the conclusions of any other critic, however eminent, but have relied only upon evidence obtained from the artist's paintings and drawings, and upon the testimony of contemporary documents. There are some who will think that I have attached too much importance to Fra Angelico's studies of Nature and of antique art. They will, perhaps, condemn my whole point of view as "academic" and "stylistic," so applying to it two epithets which to their ears are the most damning that can be conceived. "If," they will say, "this conception of Fra Angelico is the right one, then so much the worse for Fra Angelico." But, indeed, it seems to my judgment that in the great and endless controversy which divides the realm of art, the truth lies, as it so often does in this world, somewhere in the middle ground between two extreme positions. It dwells neither with the intransigenti of classicalism on the one hand, nor with the propounders of that creed of artistic anarchism which is now so fashionable, on the other.
