#### Historical context

Fra Filippo Lippi (c. 1406 - October 8, 1469) - an outstanding Florentine artist of the early Renaissance, a Carmelite monk. Born in Florence to a modest family. An orphan, he was raised in the Carmelite monastery of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, where he became a monk in 1421. He received his artistic education by observing the work of Masaccio, who painted the Brancaccia Chapel in the monastery. Among the most famous works: the frescoes of the cathedral in Prato (1452-1466), the frescoes of the cathedral in Spoleto (1467-1469, unfinished - he died during the work); numerous Madonnas - especially the "Madonna and Child with Two Angels" (c. 1465) in the Uffizi. He gained scandalous fame: in 1456 he kidnapped the young nun Lucrezia Buti, with whom he lived and had a son, Filippino Lippi (1457-1504, also an outstanding artist). Pope Pius II allowed him to leave the monastery. Teacher of Botticelli. He died on October 8, 1469 in Spoleto.
