Filippo LippiO.Carm. (c. 1406 – 8 October 1469), also known as Lippo Lippi, was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Quattrocento (fifteenth century) and a Carmelite priest. He was an early Renaissance master of a painting workshop, who taught many painters. Sandro Botticelli and Francesco di Pesello (called Pesellino) were among his most distinguished pupils. His son, Filippino Lippi, also studied under him and assisted in some late works.
Biography
Lippi was born in Florence in 1406 to Tommaso, a butcher, and his wife. He was orphaned when he was two years old and sent to live with his aunt,[2] Mona Lapaccia.[ Norwegian band Fra Lippo Lippi is a Norwegian band. They had several hits in the 1980s, such as "Shouldn't Have to Be Like That", "Everytime I See You" and "Light and Shade", and recorded a new album as late as 2002. The band name is derived from Robert Browning's poem about the Renaissance painter Filippo Lippi. Fra Lippo Lippi was founded in Nesodden, Norway in 1980 by Rune Kristoffersen (bass, guitar, keyboards), Morten Sjøberg (drums, keyboards) and Bjørn Sorknes (bass, keyboards).[5] They released a 4-track instrumental EP that year, titled Tap Dance for Scientists. Two years prior, the group was writing and rehearsing under the name Genetic Control.[5] In 1981, Sorknes left as the band was writing songs for their debut album. The band, which then consisted of the duo of Kristoffersen and Sjøberg, recorded and released In Silence under Uniton Records. Inspired by British post-punk band Joy Division, the album received some favourable reviews and was distributed in several European countries.

In the Lives, Vasari tells that Filippo entered the Carmelites monastery, in the Oltrarno district, when he was 8. In Santa Maria del Carmine – the Carmelites’ church – many years later, his son Filippino completed the famous Masaccio’s frescoes of the Cappella Brancacci. In 1421, Filippo became friar: for this reason in Italian he is called Fra Filippo. During the 30’s he moved from Florence to Padua. According to Vasari, during a short trip by boat, Lippi and some friends have been kidnapped and enslaved by the Moors. One day – after more than a year – Filippo made the portrait of his master on a wall, using a piece of coal. Moors did not know painting: they considered Filippo’s art a miracle, and released him. In 1437, Lippi came back to Florence and opened his own workshop. In the fol
