EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing relationship between Filippo Lippi, a renowned artist, and the nun Buti. The colour litho artwork by Gabriele Castagnola depicts an illicit affair that has sparked curiosity for centuries. In this early 20th-century postcard, we witness the forbidden connection between two individuals from different worlds. Lippi's artistic genius intertwines with Buti's devotion to her religious vows, creating a complex dynamic that is both scandalous and alluring. The image evokes questions about love, passion, and the boundaries of societal norms. It invites us to ponder how such a clandestine liaison could have blossomed amidst the constraints of their respective roles in society. As we delve into this piece of art, we are reminded of the power artists possess to capture human emotions and relationships through their works. Lippi's brushstrokes beautifully convey his affection for Buti while also highlighting the tension inherent in their union. Filippo Lippi and the nun Buti serve as a reminder that even within seemingly rigid structures like religion or artistry, human connections can transcend boundaries. This postcard immortalizes their entangled lives and leaves us contemplating not only their story but also our own perceptions of love and desire.
