The painter Fra Angelico was among the first to use the techniques of perspective proposed by Leon Battista Alberti. His depiction of movement, as well as his use of colour and facial expressions to highlight grace and emotion, place him among the major painters of the early Renaissance.

Through a series of magnificent illustrations, combined with artistic and biographical analysis, Stephan Beissel unravels the talent of this unique artist, who alone knew how to paint the Christian soul, and whom André Malraux considered to be the painter who marked the severance between the sacred art of the Middle Ages and the new art born with the Renaissance.
