Fra Angelico’s
Deposition from the Cross
at Museo di San Marco, Florence. Egg tempera on panel
176x185cm
I visited Florence for several weeks in 2016/17 and went to San Marco most days. Fra Angelico’s paintings had a lasting effect on me as examples of the world-building potential of painting in series, and the ability of wholeheartedly figurative, narrative images to explore abstract formal ideas.
