Did you know Fra Angelico started out as an illuminator? My senior thesis included a comparative analysis of an Annunciation theme he once did in a psalter and of course his Annunciation fresco in the Museo di San Marco.

Early Renaissance---Fra Angelico's The Annunciation---holds the charm of pure faith......I believe he began by painting frescoes on monastery walls.
