Fra Filippo Lippi Review
Fra Filippo Lippi Overview
Fra Filippo Lippi
PREFACE
IN the history of Art the Quattrocento might not
inappropriately be likened to one of those ideal
landscapes, thickly strewn with lovely flowers, which
Fra Angelico was so fond of depicting, and which
form a fitting environment to Sandro Botticelli's
wistful symbolic figures. So varied and imposing
is the prospect which meets our gaze, so beautiful
and luxuriant the vegetation, that we pause in
bewilderment, not knowing which flower to select
for special admiration and study. For as each floral
species differs from the other in brilliancy of hue
and distinguishing symmetry of form, so also do we
discover characteristic merits and often unsuspected
greatness in each individual master of the Quattro-
cento, though all obeyed, with greater or minor
understanding and alacrity, the mysterious force
then beckoning Art irresistibly forwards on the
triumphant march which led her from the unsatis-
factory gropings of the Giottesque limbo to the
glorious apotheosis of the Renaissance. No period
was more homogeneous in its general tendencies
and aspirations, or more varied in the individual
elements which contributed to the realization of
those tendencies and to the final triumph of those
aspirations.
In the beautiful garden of the Quattrocento the
Muse of Art-criticism should wander serenely, like
Dante's vision of Matelda,
