EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning masterpiece, titled the Linaioli Tabernacle, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Fra Angelico (1387-1455), an early Renaissance artist from Italy. Created around 1433, this exquisite work of art is housed in the Museo di San Marco (St. Mark's Museum) in Florence, Italy. The central panel of the tabernacle depicts the Adoration of the Magi, a popular biblical theme in Renaissance art. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene landscape, with the infant Jesus lying on a bed of straw, surrounded by the three wise men who have come to pay homage to him. The figures are rendered with remarkable detail and grace, their faces expressing a sense of awe and reverence. The use of tempera on wood is evident in the vibrant colors and the smooth, flat surfaces of the painting. The technique was popular during the Quattrocento period, and Fra Angelico masterfully employs it to create a sense of depth and texture. The horizontal composition of the painting is further enhanced by the natural light that filters in through the museum's windows, casting a warm glow over the colors and enhancing their richness. The Linaioli Tabernacle is a prime example of Fra Angelico's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of the sacred stories he depicted. It is a treasure of Renaissance art and a must-see for anyone visiting Florence.
