Lippi, Filippino c.1458-1504
Italian painter
Born in Prato, Florence, he was the son of Fra Filippo Lippi, and was apprenticed to Botticelli, who almost certainly was a pupil of his father. In c.1484 he completed the frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel in the Carmine, Florence, left unfinished by Masaccio. Other celebrated series of frescoes were painted by him between 1487 and 1502, one in the Strozzi Chapel in S Maria Novella and one in the Caraffa Chapel, S Maria sopra Minerva, in Rome. Easel pictures painted by him are The Virgin and Saints (c.1485, National Gallery, London), The Adoration of the Magi (1495, Uffizi, Florence) and The Vision of St Bernard (1481-86, Badia, Florence).
