Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, Italy
26 September 2025 - 25 January 2026
Beato Angelico, Trittico francescano (det.), 1428-1429. Su concessione del Ministero della Cultura – Direzione regionale Musei nazionali Toscana – Museo di San Marco
From September 26, 2025, to January 25, 2026, the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco present Fra Angelico, an extraordinary and unprecedented exhibition devoted to an artist who symbolises fifteenth-century Florentine art and stands out as one of the greatest masters of Italian art of all time.
The exhibition, organized in collaboration between the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, the Ministero della Cultura – Direzione regionale Musei nazionali Toscana and Museo di San Marco in a close dialogue between cultural institutions and the region, is one of the leading cultural events of 2025. It celebrates a father of the Renaissance in two venues: the Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco.
The exhibition explores Fra Angelico’s art, development and influence and his relation to painters such as Lorenzo Monaco, Masaccio, and Filippo Lippi, as well as sculptors like Lorenzo Ghiberti, Michelozzo, and Luca della Robbia. Curated by Carl Brandon Strehlke, Curator Emeritus of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, with – for the Museo di San Marco – Angelo Tartuferi, former Director of the Museo di San Marco, and Stefano Casciu, Regional Director of Musei nazionali Toscana, Fra Angelico marks the first major exhibition in Florence dedicated to the artist exactly seventy years after the monographic show of 1955, creating a unique dialogue between institutions and the region.
