Light from Light The Life and Art of Blessed Fra Angelico The Secrets of Sacred Art

Fra Angelico’s sacred art wasn’t created to impress—it was created to sanctify. In this episode of Secrets of Sacred Art, Alix Murray and Kathryn Laffrey reflect on the life, spirituality, and artistic legacy of Blessed Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar whose paintings remain powerful instruments of contemplation.

From luminous frescoes and altarpieces to intimate manuscript illuminations, Fra Angelico’s work reveals how theology, beauty, and prayer can unite in visual form. The discussion explores his Marian devotion, Dominican spirituality, emotional Crucifixion scenes, and the belief that holiness matters in the making of sacred art.

Discover why Fra Angelico’s art continues to draw viewers into silence, reverence, and deeper reflection centuries later.
