Description:
|
For the Magi Chapel, Filippo Lippi, an artist in great favor with Cosimo il Vecchio de’ Medici, painted the altarpiece, now replaced by a copy from the period attributed to Lippi’s own workshop, while the original is in the State Museum of Berlin (Gemäldegalerie). From the 1450s Lippi developed the theme of the Virgin adoring the Christ Child in a woodland setting. The complicated iconography with the added saints is perhaps expressive of the pietism of Piero de’ Medici and his wife, Lucrezia Tornabuoni. Saint Romuald is called Saint Bernard in some references.
