1433 CE

Guido di Pietro (posthumously known as Fra Angelico), born about 1400 and documented as receiving payment as a layman for an altarpiece in 1418, had apparently been trained as an illuminator.

The Florentine painter had become a member of the Dominican order between 1418 and 1421.

Fra Angelico’s “Linaiuoli Triptych,” a secular work commissioned in 1433 for the Linen Drapers Guild, features monumental figures that reflect the painter's awareness of contemporary sculpture by Donatello and Lorenzo Ghiberti for Orsanmichele, the Florentine grain market.
