Verified profile

The Madonna del Ceppo, a capital work in Filippo Lippi's mature career, was financed in 1453 by the Prato charity institution of the same name, founded by Francesco di Marco Datini. The altarpiece has therefore become the emblem of the city's generosity. The deliberately archaic setting is the characteristic of this large arched altarpiece with a gold background, used as a tabernacle, which evokes the abstract and iconic model of the fourteenth-century Majesties. In the Madonna, Lippi represents a model of humanitỳ and classic beauty, prior to meeting Lucrezia buti, a regular face veiled with melancholy which in its intensitỳ confirms the full Lippesque autography.
