Nice slideshow at Slate arguing that Fra Angelico was a pivotal figure between stylized medieval art and the more naturalisitic individualized style of the Renaissance. Worth clicking over just to see the paintings.

Thanks for linking to this! It was very insightful even if I think he played the individualism up a bit much. I love late medieval painting and art, especially Fra Angelico and El Greco. Good stuff man.

If you guys make it back to Philly before we leave we should go to the Art Museum – they have a pretty nice medieval exhibit.
