Ep. 53: Fra Filippo Lippi

  • サマリー

  • Send us a text

    Lustful, unpredictable, and mischievous, Fra Filippo Lippi is a notorious figure of the Italian Renaissance. This episode surveys his life, looking primarily at three artworks: the San Lorenzo Annunciation, the Double Portrait at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his famous Lippina.

    Together, these works uncover a story about a skilled artist, but one who constantly upset his social structure. We use his work to glimpse into the world of Renaissance women, including the nun Lucrezia Buti who he stole from her convent and eventually married. Beyond the works, we explore stories about his turbulent life. Was Fra Filippo really sold as a slave by Barbary pirates? Did Cosimo de' Medici truly lock him in the Palazzo Medici to stop him from womanizing Florence? All of these questions and more are answered.

    Works Discussed:

    Annunciation, San Lorenzo, ca. 1440
    Portrait of a Woman with a Man at a Casement, Met NYC, ca. 1440
    Lippina, Uffizi Gallery, ca. 1457-1465
