  • More about Filippino Lippi: An Abundance of Invention

A new understanding of the Renaissance master-artist Filippino Lippi is presented in this book, the first monograph in a generation and the first study in English in over eighty years. He was rediscovered by the poet Swinburne in 1868 and celebrated for his inventive enjoyment and indefatigable fancy.

Format: Hardback
Length: 248 pages
Publication date: 12 September 2022
Publisher: Reaktion Books


The first monograph in a generation, and the first study in English in over eighty years, this book presents a new understanding of the Renaissance master-artist Filippino Lippi. Celebrated as ingenious by Vasari in 1550, Filippino was highly praised and influential, then fell out of favor and was forgotten for centuries. He was rediscovered by the poet Swinburne, who in 1868 celebrated the painter's inventive enjoyment and indefatigable fancy. In a similar spirit, this volume explores Filippino's creativity in solving artistic problems. If a Roman cardinal requested a classically inspired work, or a Florentine humanist wanted to dazzle observers with his antiquarian interests, Filippino had the sensitivity to understand these diverse needs and express them with highly original solutions.
