Intussen, in het leven van Fra Angelico
Het hele leven17 October 1417 – February 1418
First records: Guido di Pietro, painter
The earliest record of him is dated 17 October 1417, when, under the name Guido di Pietro, he attended a religious confraternity at the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Payments to Guido di Pietro in January and February 1418 for work at the church of Santo Stefano del Ponte in Florence show that he was already working as a painter.
1418
Joins the Dominican Observants
In 1418 Guido di Pietro entered the Dominican convent at Fiesole and joined the Dominican Observants, who kept the original Rule of Saint Dominic with its demand for absolute poverty and asceticism; as a friar he became Giovanni da Fiesole. The exact date of his vows is unknown and is placed between 1418 and 1421, since novices were not allowed to paint during their first year.
1429
Registered at San Domenico as Brother Johannes
In 1429 the artist was registered at the monastery of San Domenico as “Brother Johannes Petri de Muscello” (frate Johannes Petri de Muscello).
