Commissioned by Piero de’ Medici
The Purple Passion of Fra Angelico
An Illuminated Masterpiece from the Hand of Fra Angelico

• This fine facsimile edition brings together pages from the collections of The Fogg Art Museum of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam.

• Fra Angelico or the blessed Angelico as he is also known, is a master of the Italian school and widely considered one of the most spiritual and sensitive of artists. In his miniatures, he made use of a uniquely personal style associated with the transition from the late Gothic period to the Renaissance: abstract, radiant and striking while at the same time possessed of a great inner moderation.

• Codex bound in velvet over wooden boards.

• Unique edition of 999 numbered copies with notarized certificate of authenticity.
