Filippino Lippi

Filippino Lippi (c. 1457–1504) was an Italian painter of the Early Renaissance, associated with the Florentine school. He was the son of the renowned painter Fra Filippo Lippi and Lucrezia Buti, and he was trained under the tutelage of Sandro Botticelli. Lippi's work is characterized by its vibrant color palette and intricate detail, contributing significantly to the development of Renaissance art in Florence. Among his notable works are the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel in Florence, which he completed after the death of Masaccio, and the Strozzi Chapel in Santa Maria Novella. His style reflects a transition from the linear grace of his predecessors to a more expressive and dynamic form, influencing subsequent generations of artists. Lippi's contributions to religious and secular art underscore his importance in the evolution of Renaissance painting.
