Biography

Filippino Lippi (ca. 1457-1504) was a well-known painter working in Renaissance Florence and Italy. He was the son of the painter Fra Filippo Lippi and Lucrezia Buti, born in Prato, near Florence, around 1457. Filippino's first art training was under his father. Having moved in Spoleto along with him, he worked as shop adjuvant in the construction of the Cathedral. When his father died in 1469, he completed the frescoes with Storie della Vergine (Histories of the Vergin) in the cathedral. Filippino Lippi completed his apprenticeship in the workshop of Botticelli, who had been a pupil of his father. In 1472 Botticelli also took him as his companion in the Compagnia di San Luca.

His first works show a great resemblance with Botticelli's style, even though with less sensitiveness and subtleness. The very first ones (dating from 1475 onwards) were initially attribuited to an anonymous "Amico di Sandro" (Friend of Botticelli). Eventually Lippi's style evolved into a more personal and effective one in the years 1480-1485. Works of the early period include: the Madonnas of Berlin, London and Washington, the Journeys of Tobia of the Galleria Sabauda in Turin, Italy, the Madonna of the Sea of Galleria dell'Accademia and the Histories of Ester.

Along with Perugino, Ghirlandaio and the same Botticelli, he worked at the frescoed decoration of Lorenzo de' Medici's villa at Spedaletto. On December 31, 1482 the artist he was commissioned to work on a wall of Sala dell'Udienza of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence (a work never begun). Not much time after (probably in 1483-1484) he was called to complete the Masaccio's decoration of Cappella Brancacci in the Carmine, left unfinished by the artist's death in 1428. Here he realized the Stories of Saint Peter with the following frescoes: Quarrel with Simon Magus in face of Nero, Resurrection of Teophilus' Son, Saint Peter Jailed, Liberation and Saint Peter's Crucifiction.

Apparition of The Virgin to St Bernard (1486)
Oil on panel, 210 x 195 cm Church of Badia, Florence

On April 21, 1487, Filippo Strozzi entrusted him the decoration of the family chapel in Santa Maria Novella, with the Stories of St John Evangelist and St Philip. He attended to this work through various periods, completing it in 1503, after the customer's death. The windows with musical themes, also designed by Filippino, were posed between June and July of 1503. These paintings can be seen as a mirror of the political and religious crisis in Florence at the age: the theme of the fresco, the clash between Christianism and Paganism, was indeed an item largely debated in the Florence of Girolamo Savonarola. Filippino showed his characters in a landscape which recreated the ancient world in its finest details, showing the influence of the Grottesco style he had seen in his journey to Rome. He created in this way an "animated", mysterious, fantastic but also disquieting decoration, showing the unreality of something as a nightmare. In this environment Filippino portrayed ruthless executioners deformed by grimfaces, which raged against the Saints. In the scene with St. Philip expelling a monster from the temple, the statue of the pagan god is a living figure which seems to dare the christian saint.

On 1488 Lippi moved to Rome, where Lorenzo de' Medici had advised Cardinal Oliviero Carafa to entrust him the decoration of the family chapel in Santa Maria sopra Minerva. These frescoes show a new kind of inspiration, quite different from the earlier works, but confirm his continue research towards the themes of the Ancient era.
