Fra Filippo Lippi (c.1406-1469) was born in Florence and orphaned at the age of two. At the age of eight he joined a Carmelite monastery and took his orders in 1421. He continued his monastic career until 1456 when he met and married a nun called Lucrezia Buti. She apparently appears as Salome in ‘The Feast of Herod’ in Lippi’s fresco cycle in the cathedral at Prato. His earliest paintings show a debt to Masaccio’s solid and simplified forms, although his style became increasingly decorative and intricate in accordance with a gothic revival and the gradual infiltration of Flemish paintings during this period. He is one of the most important painters of the Quattrocento and exercised a profound influence on art.
