Filippino Lippi

Filippino Lippi (1457 - 1504) was active/lived in Italy.  Filippino Lippi is known for Italian Renaissance fresco painting, religious figures.

Filippino Lippi was born in 1457, the son of Fra Filippo Lippi and Lucretia Buti.  His first training came from his father, Fra Filippo Lippi, but he preferred the more imaginative, sensitive style of Sandro Botticelli.  From 1472, he had been part of a workshop of Botticelli's, and eventually he served as an assistant to Botticelli.

In 1483 Lippi was commissioned to do an Annunciation for the Palazzo Communale in San Gimignano.  The same year Lorenzo de Medici invited him to decorate the Villa Spedaletto near Volterra, in collaboration with Botticelli, Ghirandaio and Perugino.  He enjoyed considerable popularity thereafter with many more commissions.  Lippi died in 1584.
