Description, Fra' Filippo Lippi, Madonna and Child with Two Angels
Madonna and Child with Two Angels
Filippo Lippi (Firenze 1406 ca. – Spoleto 1469)
1460-1465 ca.
The Uffizi
Tempera on wood
Size 95 x 62 cm
This is Filippo Lippi’s most famous piece and features an extraordinary spontaneity in its portrayal. The Virgin is seated on a throne, of which it is possible to glimpse only the soft, embroidered cushion and the carved arm. She is intently gazing at her son, turning towards him with hands clasped in prayer. Her expression is gentle and indulgent, almost melancholy, as if she can foresee the painful destiny that awaits her son. The young Jesus, covered only in swaddling, looks back at Mary, holding both arms out to her, supported by two angels. The angel in the foreground is smiling and looking outwards, as if to bring the onlooker into the scene.
The close-up style, with the group painted as little more than half figures, placed in a small space and bordered by a Serena stone frame, make this composition similar to numerous relief sculptures made by the Florentine sculptors of the same period. The window opens out onto a vast, varied landscape, overlooking the sea, with rocks, vegetation, and buildings.
The holy image has been translated with a deep sense of humanity, both through the expression of affections and in the choice of clothes and hairstyles, which have been inspired by the fashions of the same period. The Virgin is dressed most elegantly, with a crown of pearls and veils woven into her hair, in the same way as Florentine noblewomen from the late 15th century. The halos are barely hinted at: fine crowns and rays of light that do not cover the landscape behind. As yet there is nothing to confirm the idea that the Virgin’s face is none other than that of Lucrezia Buti, the young nun from Prato, who went on to become Lippi’s wife.
The composition was a success from the start, and used as a model by many artists, including the young Botticelli, a pupil of the artist. We do not know, however, the original destination of this holy image; the first information dates back to the late 18th century, when it was in the Medici Villa of Poggio Imperiale in Florence.
Lippi had a colorful life, described in more detail from sources in Wikipedia, including the accoun that when Lippi arrived in Florence in 1432, his paintings had become popular, warranting the support of the Medici family, who commissioned the painting, the Annunciation and the Seven Saints. Cosimo de' Medici had to lock him up in order to compel him to work, and even then the painter escaped by a rope made of his sheets. His escapades threw him into financial difficulties. His life included many similar tales of lawsuits, complaints, broken promises, and scandal. Regardless, his work inspired some of the best painters of the Renaissance.
The unedited version from the photo shoot for the clothing store. The tattoo isn't real. At least, that's what I tell my mom. She's real believing. The soft focus was intentional.
Looking east to the Weissmies group from the summit of the Dom, at 4545 m highest in the Mischabel range. Wallis, Switzerland.
I chose the other one because it shows what the rope actually is, with that "Honey I shrunk the kids" feel, but I prefer the angle and framing on this alternative version.
