Madonna and Child with Angels and Saints

Last updated

Madonna and Child with Angels and Saints was an oil on panel triptych by Filippo Lippi, executed in 1440. [1]

Its central panel has been in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since 1949 and its side panels of Saints Augustine and Ambrose and Saints Gregory and Jerome are both in the Accademia Albertina in Turin. [2] The work was probably split up around the end of the 18th Century. When archbishop Vincenzo Maria Mossi gave his collection to the Accademia in 1828 he only presented the two side panels. The work was reunited at the "Exposition de l'art italien de Cimabue à Tiepolo" in Paris in 1935 and in the "Filippo Lippi. Un trittico ricongiunto" exhibition at the Accademia in October 2004.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Coronation of the Virgin</span> Subject in Christian art

The Coronation of the Virgin or Coronation of Mary is a subject in Christian art, especially popular in Italy in the 13th to 15th centuries, but continuing in popularity until the 18th century and beyond. Christ, sometimes accompanied by God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, places a crown on the head of Mary as Queen of Heaven. In early versions the setting is a Heaven imagined as an earthly court, staffed by saints and angels; in later versions Heaven is more often seen as in the sky, with the figures seated on clouds. The subject is also notable as one where the whole Christian Trinity is often shown together, sometimes in unusual ways. Crowned Virgins are also seen in Eastern Orthodox Christian icons, specifically in the Russian Orthodox church after the 18th century. Mary is sometimes shown, in both Eastern and Western Christian art, being crowned by one or two angels, but this is considered a different subject.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Francesco Pesellino</span> Italian painter (c. 1422–1457)

Francesco Pesellino, also known as Francesco di Stefano, was an Italian Renaissance painter active in Florence. His father was the painter Stefano di Francesco, and his maternal grandfather was the painter Giuliano Pesello (1367–1446), from whose name the diminutive nickname "Pesellino" arose. After the death of his father in 1427, the young Pesellino went to live with his grandfather whose pupil he became. Pesellino remained in his grandfather's studio until the latter's death, when he began to form working partnerships with other artists, such as Zanobi Strozzi and Fra Filippo Lippi. He married in 1442, and probably joined the Florentine painters' guild in 1447. In the following years he made for reputation with small, highly-finished works for domestic interiors, including religious panels for private devotional use and secular subjects for pieces of furniture.
