“Rediscovering Fra Angelico: A Fragmentary History”
Through December 30

 Science, art, and theology come together in a small exhibition that reunites previously separated sections of an altarpiece painted by the Renaissance master Fra Angelico (c. 1395-1455). Two of the four panels—one depicting the Angel Gabriel announcing the coming birth of Christ and the other the Virgin Mary—have been in the Gallery’s holdings since 1959. The other two sections, from the collection of the Getty Museum, show St. Francis and a Bishop Saint on one panel and St. John the Baptist and St. Peter Martyr on the other.

A curator from the Metropolitan Museum of Art first made the association between the two holdings in the early 1990s; after intense visual scrutiny and scientific analysis from both museums' conservation departments, the panels were confirmed to be components of one larger work.

An installation adjacent to the panels describes the materials and techniques of early Italian artists, and a catalogue includes essays of scholarly and general interest, as well as an examination of the history of the dismantling and sale of Italian Renaissance altarpieces in the mid- to late-18th century.
