"The Four Evangelists" is a renowned series of paintings by the Early Renaissance Italian artist Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro. This series comprises four separate works, each depicting one of the traditional authors of the canonical Gospels within the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These works are celebrated for their embodiment of the humanistic spirit of the Renaissance and for Fra Angelico's mastery in blending spiritual expression with naturalistic detail.

Fra Angelico, a Dominican friar and painter, was active in the early to mid-15th century and is known for his frescoes and altarpieces that combine the Gothic style of the late Middle Ages with the emerging Renaissance interest in perspective, proportion, and the study of light. His work on "The Four Evangelists" is particularly noted for its vivid portrayal of each evangelist, often accompanied by their traditional symbols: an angel for Matthew, a lion for Mark, an ox for Luke, and an eagle for John. These symbols have roots in the visions of the four living creatures in the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation, which came to be associated with the four evangelists in Christian art.

The paintings are characterized by Fra Angelico's use of rich colors, delicate gold leaf, and his attention to the emotional and contemplative life of his subjects. Each evangelist is typically shown in a moment of inspiration or contemplation, often with a gaze that invites the viewer into a meditative state. The works are also notable for their detailed backgrounds, which may include landscapes or architectural elements that enhance the narrative and symbolic content of each scene.

"The Four Evangelists" by Fra Angelico are significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their religious and cultural impact during the Renaissance. They reflect the broader movement within the Church to foster a personal connection to the divine through art and to encourage the faithful to engage with the sacred texts in a more intimate manner. These paintings have been influential in the history of Christian art and continue to be studied for their aesthetic beauty and theological depth.

The exact dates of creation and current locations of the original paintings may vary, as Fra Angelico's works have been dispersed over time to various museums and collections around the world. Art historians and critics have extensively analyzed "The Four Evangelists" for their iconography, stylistic elements, and place within Fra Angelico's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art.
