EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned masterpiece "Madonna and Child" by Filippino Lippi, a prominent Italian Renaissance artist. Created around 1483-4, this exquisite painting is composed using tempera, oil, and gold on wood. It measures 81.3x59.7 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Commissioned by Florentine banker Filippo Strozzi, this artwork bears his family's emblematic three crescents which adorn an arcade leading to a picturesque landscape reminiscent of the countryside surrounding the Strozzi villa near Florence. The image depicts a tender moment between the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus as they are enveloped in an aura of divine light emanating from their halos. The intricate details of Lippi's brushwork bring forth a sense of devotion and spirituality that resonates with viewers. The use of ultramarine blue pigment adds depth and richness to both the figures' garments and the heavenly atmosphere surrounding them. This color choice symbolizes purity, divinity, and eternal love within Christian iconography. Lippi's "Madonna and Child" stands as a testament to his mastery in capturing religious themes during the Italian Renaissance period. Its presence at The Met allows art enthusiasts to experience firsthand its profound beauty while appreciating its historical significance within Christianity and art history as a whole.
