Artist Filippo Lippi (c.1406 - 1469) Italian Painter | WAA

Filippo Lippi was born circa 1406, died 8 October 1469, also known as Lippo Lippi, was an Italian painter of the Quattrocento (15th century) and a Carmelite priest. Lippi's early work, notably the Tarquinia Madonna (Galleria Nazionale, Rome) shows that influence from Masaccio. In 1432 Filippo Lippi quit the monastery, although he was not released from his vows. In a letter dated 1439 he describes himself as the poorest friar of Florence, charged with the maintenance of six marriageable nieces. According to Vasari, Lippi then went on to visit Ancona and Naples, where he was captured by Barbary pirates and kept as a slave. His skill in portrait-sketching helped to eventually release him. his paintings had become popular, warranting the support of the Medici family, who commissioned The Annunciation and the Seven Saints. A group of bystanders depicted at the funeral includes a self-portrait of Lippi, together with his son Filippino and his helpers, Fra Diamante and Pier Matteo d'Amelia.
