Fra Anzheliko
In Louvre almost all range of creativity of Fra Anzheliko is provided. Coronation of Virgin Mary, written in the 143th of in San Domenico (Fyezole’s) monastery, differ in the shining color purity, obtained artist in painting of a gothic style, and the new science of picturesque space created by his contemporaries in Florence. This official and hierarchical meeting of Saints and angels around the most sacral celestial ceremonial has no anything archaic or pompous any more; in it there is a lot of rigorous and at the same time careful attention to all observable in reality. Even the combination of basic colors in nowise has no heraldic or conditional character – it passes a svetozarnost and saturation of the environment thanks to inherent Fra Anzheliko between feeling of light and space. The perspective inventively is also very precisely counted. It passes depth of architectural space, without capturing the short-range plan. Its extended, slow convergence deprived even of sign of any drama pumping, as at Uchchello of (Fight in case of San Romano, see) speaks about the infinite remoteness of a grandiose heavenly dwelling place.
