From September 26, 2025 to January 25, 2026, the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and Museo di San Marco in Florence are jointly presenting a major exhibition dedicated to the 15th-century painter Beato Angelico. The show brings together over 140 works—including paintings, drawings, sculptures, and miniatures—from prestigious institutions such as the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery in Washington, the Vatican Museums, and the Rijksmuseum. It explores Angelico’s artistic development, his collaborations with contemporaries like Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, and Lorenzo Ghiberti, and his influence on Renaissance art, with a special focus on his frescoes at the Museo di San Marco, including the iconic Annunciation.
This is the first major exhibition in Florence dedicated to Beato Angelico in seventy years, following the 1955 monographic show. The collaboration between Palazzo Strozzi and Museo di San Marco offers a unique opportunity to examine the painter friar’s work in its original Dominican convent setting, where spirituality and artistic vision converge. The exhibition’s extensive loans and four years of preparation underscore its exceptional scientific and cultural significance, making it a landmark event for Renaissance art scholarship and public engagement.
