The following text was written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher of Laguna Woods, California:
Fra Angelico, born in Florence about 1400, was named Guido, son of Piero, who was probably a farmer near the village of Vicchio in Tuscany, about ten miles from Florence. Until recent years his birthdate was thought to be 1387, but new evidence points to a date closer to 1400.
Nothing was known of his early life; recognized at an ea (showing 500 of 4442 characters). |
