这本目录对这位文艺复兴时期最重要的艺术家之一进行了探讨，是在波士顿伊莎贝拉•斯图尔特•加德纳博物馆举办的展览的配套出版物。此次展览首次将弗拉•安杰利科为圣母玛利亚-诺维拉（1424-34年；伊莎贝拉•斯图尔特•加德纳博物馆和佛罗伦萨圣马可博物馆）创作的四幅圣物画重新聚在一起。这些作品涵盖了圣母玛利亚生活中的关键情节，并以微缩的方式表现了他最重要的一些构图创新。在加德纳博物馆举办的这次展览还展出了欧洲和美国收藏的安杰利科叙事画的杰出代表作，探索了他作为一个讲故事的人的著名才能，以及影响了佛罗伦萨绘画新理想的艺术贡献。

Accompanying the exhibition at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, this catalogue explores one of the most important artists of the Renaissance. The exhibition reunites for the fi rst time Fra Angelico’s four reliquaries for Santa Maria Novella (1424-34; Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and Museo di San Marco, Florence). Together they cover key episodes in the life of the Virgin Mary and capture in miniature some of his most important compositional innovations. Assembled at the Gardner with exceptional examples of Angelico’s narrative paintings from collections in Europe and the United States, this exhibition explores his celebrated talents as a storyteller and the artistic contributions that shaped a new ideal of painting in Florence.
