From September 26, 2025 to January 25, 2026, the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco present Beato Angelico, an extraordinary and unrepeatable exhibition dedicated to the artist symbol of the art of the Quattrocento and one of the main masters of Italian art of all time.

The exhibition, realized in collaboration between Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, Ministry of Culture - Regional Directorate of National Museums of Tuscany and Museo di San Marco, establishing a close dialogue between cultural institutions and the territory, constitutes one of the main cultural events of 2025, celebrating a father of the Renaissance in a journey between the two venues of Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco.

The exhibition addresses the production, development, and influence of Beato Angelico's art and his relationships with painters such as Lorenzo Monaco, Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, but also 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 National Museums of Tuscany, Beato Angelico represents the first major exhibition in Florence dedicated to the artist exactly seventy years after the monographic exhibition of 1955, creating a unique dialogue between institutions and the territory.

Renowned for a language that, starting from the late Gothic heritage, uses the principles of the emerging Renaissance art, Beato Angelico (Guido di Piero, later Fra Giovanni da Fiesole; Vicchio di Mugello, circa 1395 - Rome, 1455) created paintings famous for the mastery in perspective, the use of light, and the relationship between figures and space. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore the extraordinary artistic vision of the friar painter in relation to a deep religious sense, founded on a meditation of the sacred in connection with the human.

The exhibition brings together over 140 works between paintings, drawings, sculptures, and miniatures from prestigious museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery in Washington, the Vatican Museums, the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, as well as Italian and international libraries and collections, churches, and territorial institutions.
