As we discussed in a previous blog, Filippino Lippi is the son of the famous Quattrocento painter, Fra Filippo Lippi, and Lucrezia Buti, a nun.
Here are some self portraits by Fra Filippo Lippi that show the passion of these two lovers.
.The use of linear perspective and vibrant colors make these paintings very dramatic.
Excellent! Eccelente! But Carol, these are not at all "self-portraits" of Fra Filippo Lippi but I would say 19th c romantic paintings of the story told by Vasari. I believe there is also a poem about them by Browning. . . why don't you put up some REAL paintings by the amorous Fra?
