Fra Angelico, also known as the Angelic Painter, pioneered many of the stylistic trends distinguished in the early Renaissance, including the rational treatment of pictorial space and the volumetric modeling of forms with light and shadow. Between 1418-1422, he joined the community of San Domenico, where many of Angelico’s commissions came from Dominican institutions. He painted many altarpieces that had a novel arrangement of the figures to establish a niche like space. Angelico adapted the use of mathematical perspective to refine his advances towards three-dimensional forms in constructed spatial settings. His clientele later expanded as he completed a large number of altarpieces, private devotional works, and fresco commissions.
