Filippino Lippi
3 works in the collection
Filippino Lippi (1457-1504) stands as one of the prominent figures of the early Italian Renaissance. The son of Fra Filippo Lippi, a leading painter of the Quattrocento, Filippino inherited both skill and artistic sensibility from his father. He trained in his father’s workshop and later worked alongside the celebrated Sandro Botticelli. Lippi’s works are known for their graceful linework, delicate figures, and psychological depth, bridging the gap between the emotionally charged compositions of his father and the early classicism of Botticelli. Though often overshadowed by more famous contemporaries, Filippino Lippi's contributions were crucial in shaping the direction of Florentine painting in the late fifteenth century.
