  Biography
Lippi's art, and probably this painting, are warmly praised by Domenico Veneziano in a letter of 1438 to Piero, son of Cosimo de' Medici, with whom Fra Filippo had close dealings.
Filippo Lippi was not dedicated to the study of nature firsthand; instead, he depended largely upon painted and sculptured prototypes, and his figures are often inorganic and unanatomical, rendered without an ultimate conviction for their three-dimensional presence.
Lippi was highly regarded in his day (he was patronized by the Medici, who came to his aid when he was imprisoned and tortured for alleged fraud) and his influence is seen in the work of numerous artists, most notably Botticelli, who was probably his pupil.

 Fra Filippo Lippi
Eventually Fra Filippo quitted his convent, but it appears that he was not relieved from some sort of religious vow; in a letter dated in 1439 he speaks of himself as the poorest friar of Florence, and says he is charged with the maintenance of six marriageable nieces.
Towards June 1456 Fra Filippo was settled in Prato (near Florence) for the purpose of fulfilling a commission to paint frescoes in the choir of the cathedral.
Lippi asked that she might be permitted to sit to him for the figure of the Madonna (or it might rather appear of S. Margherita); he made passionate love to her, abducted her to his own house, and kept her there spite of the utmost efforts the nuns could make to reclaim her.

 Fra Filippo Lippi
Fra Filippo Lippi, 1406-1469, one of Italy’s famous artists in art history entered the Monastery of the Carmine, Florence, circa 1421.
Lippi was tried in relation to his contractual obligations, put on the rack, and actually tortured.
The portrait reflects a new physical ideal in Lippi's art seen in the softly rendered forehead of the Madonna, and in the delicate lace forming a peak coming out from her hairline.

'Fra Filippo Lippi was gracious and ornate and exceedingly skilful; he was very good at compositions and at variety, at colouring, relief, and in ornaments of every kind', wrote Cristoforo Landino in 1480; his comment remains a valid assessment of Fra Filippo's style.
Fra Filippo's pictures were popular in Florence and he was actively supported by the Medici family, who commissioned the 'The Annunciation and Seven Saints'.
Lippi's early style is based on that of Masaccio but he later moved towards more richly decorative and lyrical effects.

Filippo paused at the corner of the Ponte alla Carraia to watch the struggles of a poor mule which was trying to pull a huge cartload of wood up the steep incline of the bridge.
Filippo's hungry eyes were immediately fixed on a piece of bread which lay upon the table, and the kindly prior smiled as he nodded his head towards it.
Filippo laughed as he painted away, and laid on the tender blue of the Virgin's robe, and painted into her eyes the solemn look which he had so often seen on the face of some poor peasant woman as she knelt at prayer.

Lippi was raised in a Carmelite friary and took vows as a friar in 1421.
Lippi's "Barbadori Altarpiece" of the late 1430's is an early example of a new form, that of "sacra conversazione", in which a Madonna, saints, and angels are gathered on a single panel instead of being relegated to individual landscapes-an innovation associated to both Fra Lippi and Fra Angelico.
After 1440, Lippi began to develop a distinctive individual style with which he emphasized the decorative elements of his figures, treating the weave and drape of fabrics with close attention to the realism of their detail.

As a child, Fra Filippo was placed by his widowed mother in the monastery of Santa Maria del Carmine in Florence, where he received training as a painter and took religious vows as a monk in 1421.
After 1440, Fra Filippo gradually abandoned Masaccio's precepts in favor of a more decorative style that recalled the Gothic in its use of fluttering draperies, attenuated figures, and glowing colors.
Fra Filippo exerted a strong influence on later Florentine art.

 Biografía - Lippi, Fra Filippo
A los 15 años Fra Filippo Lippi quedó huérfano e ingresó en el convento del Carmine de Florencia, posiblemente para salir del paso ya que no tenía ninguna vocación religiosa.
Gracias a la familia Médici, Fra Filippo consiguió una dispensa del papa Pío II para casarse con Lucrecia, con quien tuvo un hijo, también pintor llamado Filippino Lippi, viviendo como legítimos esposos.
La mayor aportación de Fra Filippo a la pintura quattrocentista florentina será un mayor acento profano respecto a las obras de Masaccio o Fra Angelico que le sirvieron de inspiración, haciendo de nexo con la generación posterior.
