1457 1504 Called Filippino Filippo Fresco Lippi Renaissance Tile Vecchio Aisa Ritratto
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite fresco on tile, titled "Portrait of an Old Man" or "Ritratto di vecchio," is a masterpiece by the renowned Florentine painter Filippo Lippi, also known as Filippino Lippi (1457-1504). Created in the late 15th century during the height of the Renaissance period, this artwork showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of aging and the passage of time. Filippo Lippi was a significant figure in the development of the Florentine school of painting, known for his innovative use of perspective and his ability to imbue his works with a sense of warmth and humanity. In this portrait, he expertly depicts the wrinkled features, expressive eyes, and weathered hands of an elderly man, conveying a sense of wisdom, experience, and the inexorable march of time. The medium of fresco on tile was a popular choice for Renaissance artists due to its durability and ability to mimic the look and feel of frescoes on walls. In this instance, Lippi's mastery of the technique is evident in the subtle textures and lifelike details of the old man's skin, clothing, and surroundings. This portrait is currently housed in the Asia Department of the Aisa, Fondazione Magnani Rocca in Piacenza, Italy. It is a testament to Lippi's enduring influence on the art world and a reminder of the beauty and depth that can be found in the aging process.
