New Audio Guide Reveals True Meaning of Fra Angelico Frescoes at San Marco, in Florence, Italy


Fra Angelico’s magnificent 15th Century frescoes at San Marco monastery in Florence are among the greatest achievements in the history of art. Now visitors can tour this historic site guided by the scholarship of a highly-regarded art historian.

Fra Angelico at San Marco: Audio Guide to San Marco in Florence and its Remarkable Fresco Cycle is the audio adaptation of a popular book in the series The Great Fresco Cycles of the Renaissance, written by William Hood, Professor of Art History at Oberlin College, and a renowned Fra Angelico scholar.

This audio tour is for use by travelers as a guide when they’re actually at San Marco, looking at the frescoes and wanting to understand the artistic and historical context of what they’re seeing. “Audio is an efficient and entertaining way to absorb a lot of information,” says Jane McIntosh, producer and narrator of Jane’s Smart Art Guides. “It’s like taking your favorite art history professor on your trip with you.”
