Description:
|
Above the tomb is the great stained-glass window (designed by Filippino before 1497), depicting the Virgin and Child with SS Philip and John the Evangelist, with fictive mouldings and grotesque decoration lining the window embrasure. The stained-glass window was made in 1492 by the Florentine artist Alessandro Agolanti, known also as Il Bidello. The window was not put in place until 1503. Filippo Strozzi’s will had stipulated that the chapel (commissioned in 1487) was to be completed by 1493, and in 1497 Filippino Lippi’s slow progress led to a court case. He finished the frescoes in 1502. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordartonline.com/)
