Filippino Lippi

Filippino Lippi is an Italian painter born with Prato in 1457 and died in Florence in 1504.

He is the son of the monk and painter FRA Filippo Lippi (whose dissolue existence to him was worth many troubles with the legal authorities and nuns) and of a nun Carmelite nun Lucrezia Buti who was used to him as model. He returns in the workshop of Botticelli into 1475 which itself had been the pupil of the father of Filippino.

Filippino Lippi is quickly success. He works with the palate of the Seigniory of Florence then to the communal palate with San Gimignano. In 1488 it is destined for Rome where it paints the Triumph of saint Thomas in the Sainte-Marie church of Minerve. It is in this work that one can detect what will become the characteristic of its style: elegance and simplicity botticellienne are complicated by the introduction of increasingly many details and a fantastic architecture which make it qualify by certain commentators of precursor of the Baroque.
