The crucifixion drawn and Chromolith by
Christian Schultz (Kassel 1817 – 1882/3) printed by hangard mauge
after the frescoes in the Convento di San Marco in Florence by Fra Angelico (1395/1400 – 1455). It was painted for the Arundel Society, founded in 1848 to promote knowledge of the art through the publication of reproductions of works of art. The Arundel Society popularised Renaissance art, particularly that of the Italian Old Masters, echoing a growing interest for ‘primitives’ in the second half of the nineteenth century. This copy was published as chromolithograph in 1872
Founded in 1436 and designed by the architect Michelozzo (Michelozzo di Bartolomeo, 1396-1472), the Convento di San Marco was decorated by Fra Angelico in the 1440s. The frescoes cover extensive parts of the cloister, not only the public spaces but also the dormitory for the monks, of which Fra Angelico was one. The frescos show Fra Angelico’s characteristic use of colour and light, which was typical of his oeuvre.
