Paintings in the 1440s

by Fra Filippo Lippi

Partea II
• In 1442, with Medici support, Pope Eugenius IV awarded Lippi an
important benefice. A large payment was made in 1447 for St
Bernard's Vision of the Virgin (National Gallery, London), produced
for the Palazzo della Signoria, as well as final payments for the
Coronation of the Virgin, made for Sant'Ambrogio, which was
commissioned in 1441.
• The Annunciation in the Church of San Lorenzo is among the most
successful paintings of Lippi's middle period, with a daring balance
of figures, architecture, and landscape. The Annunciation appears
to utilize the natural sources within the church itself, which was
designed by Filippo Brunelleschi.
• Many critics have presumed an interlude during the late 1440s when
Fra Filippo was strongly attracted to the painting of Fra Angelico to
such a point that a direct collaboration between the two masters has
been postulated for the Adoration of the Magi, a tondo rich in detail
and incidentals.
