Filippino Lippi and Rome reconsiders the influence of the painter’s time within the Everlasting Metropolis, juxtaposing Filippino’s Roman artworks with their Florentine precursors and successors. The exhibition locations 20 work, drawings, and antiquities in direct dialog. These associated artworks are introduced collectively for the primary time, and quite a few work are reunited with their research. Every object has been rigorously chosen to elucidate the evolution of Filippino’s inventive follow earlier than, throughout, and after his Roman interval.
The Cleveland Museum of Artwork’s seminal tondo by Filippino, The Holy Household with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret, is the point of interest of the exhibition. Probably commissioned by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa whereas Filippino was frescoing the cardinal’s chapel, this necessary portray is the one recognized impartial work produced by the artist in Rome. Filippino Lippi and Rome traces the arc of Filippino’s profession throughout time and media, constituting a novel alternative for students and the general public alike to find the inventive processes and iconographic ingenuities of a preeminent Renaissance painter. Principal help is supplied by the Malcolm E. Kenney Curatorial Analysis Fund. Main help is supplied by the Robert Lehman Basis.
