Angelico, Fra (Guido di Pietro)
(c. 1400-55)

A Dominican Friar, long called 'Beato Angelico' and officially beatified by the Vatican in 1984, and Florentine painter who had considerable influence on Italian painting whose pupols included the famed Beozzo Gozzoli.
Angelico probably commenced his artistic life as a manuscript illustrator in S. Domenico in Fiesole where he was the Prior, but later was to travel extensively leaving frescoes of outstanding artistic beauty and merit in S. Marco in Florence (now an Angelico Museum), in Orvieto, in Perugia and in the private chapel of Pope Nicholas V in the Vatican in Rome where he died and where his tomstone still exists in the church of S. Maria sopra Minerva.

Acclaimed American Photographer renowned for his black and white images particularly landscapes of the American West.   His works were considered extraordinary often being of a dramatic, mysterious or sensuous nature.
Adams was a committed photographer, lecturing on the subject and the author of many renowned books and papers.

Danish painter, studied at Kongelige Akademi for de Skønne Kunster, Copenhagen.   Settled in Skagen where he executed most of his paintings.   Most noted for his ability to group large numbers of figures and treat each figure as a portrait in itself.   His rather lack-lustre approach to color improved remarkably following a visit to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (1882) where he was most impressed and influenced by the Dutch Old Masters.   His wife Anna and daughter Helgar are also painters and their home in Skagen is now a museum.

Celebrated American Photographer, studied initially at Ohio State University then later in Paris and Berlin.   Strongly influenced by the works of Man Ray and Eugène Atget and perhaps best remembered for her series of documentary photographs (1935-1939) illustrating the changing faces, (people and architecture), of New York.
