Painted in the 1420s, this stunning work by Fra Angelico in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, MA, is the third of 4 reliquaries illustrating episodes from the “Life of the Virgin Mary.” While most American museums possess fragments of larger works by the artist, this is one of the rare examples of a complete work by the artist in the United States. Its sublime use of color and light exemplify the unique spiritual visual language of the priest-painter. Buona visione!
