WHEN A RENAISSANCE PAINTER OUTDRAWS CONTEMPORARY ART

The current exhibition devoted to Beato Angelico at Palazzo Strozzi is not only an art-historical event but also a revealing case study in how audiences engage with art today. It is the first major exhibition dedicated to the artist in more than seventy years (last time was in 1955) , and its success goes well beyond scholarly importance.
