Synopsis
Excerpt from Fra Angelico
It has been surmised that his early inclinations were towards the life of an artist, and that had he been intended for a religious life he would have taken the vows at an earlier age than that of twenty. Other surmises have dwelt upon the possible name of his master, and have debated into whose studio he could have found his way.
