The painters of the Romantic generation were among the first to devote themselves to the study of "early" Italian painting. The brothers Riepenhausen are credited with the "rediscovery" of Fra Angelico's Chapel of Nicholas V.

The picture shows the title page of Werke des Fra Angelico da Fiesole by the Riepenhausen brothers.
