Description:
|
|
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. 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 (painted) Serena stone frame, make this composition similar to numerous relief sculptures made by the Florentine sculptors of the same period. The Virgin is dressed in the style of a Florentine noblewomen ca. 1460. The composition was a success from the start, and used as a model by many artists, including the young Botticelli, a pupil of Lippi.
