«Beato Angelico» in Venice

September 26, 2025 to January 25, 2026

Museo di San Marco & Palazzo Strozzi, Venice Italy

The Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco present an unprecedented exhibition celebrating Fra Angelico. Marking the first major Florentine retrospective in seventy years, this event unites over 140 works—including paintings, sculptures, and manuscripts—from prestigious global collections.

Curated by Carl Brandon Strehlke, Angelo Tartuferi, and Stefano Casciu, the exhibition explores the friar painter’s pivotal role in bridging late Gothic traditions with the innovations of the Renaissance. Through masterworks that harmonize light, perspective, and spiritual depth, the show highlights his dialogue with contemporaries like Masaccio and Ghiberti. Following four years of rigorous research and restoration, this landmark project offers the rare opportunity to reunite long-dispersed altarpieces, cementing Fra Angelico’s legacy as a cornerstone of Italian art.
