EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Fra Filippo Lippi" as depicted by Giorgio Vasari in his renowned book, Lives of the Artists. The engraving, first published in 1550, immortalizes the Florentine painter and Carmelite monk who left an indelible mark on Renaissance art. In this striking image, we see a bust of Fra Filippo Lippi placed within a fictive niche. The artist's face radiates wisdom and intensity, capturing his enigmatic persona. His piercing gaze seems to penetrate through time itself, inviting us to delve into his artistic genius. Fra Filippo Lippi was not only known for his exceptional talent but also for being the father of another celebrated painter, Filippino Lippi. This portrait serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and influence on future generations. Giorgio Vasari himself was a prominent figure in Italian art history. As both an artist and historian, he played a pivotal role in documenting the lives and works of countless artists from different eras. Through this engraving, Vasari pays homage to Fra Filippo Lippi's contribution to the world of art. Now preserved in a private collection with Esmond Bridgeman Esq. , this exquisite print allows us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Renaissance illustration. It serves as a reminder that great art transcends time and continues to inspire new generations with its profound impact on our cultural heritage.
