Filippino Lippi and Rome reconsiders the impact of the painter’s time in the Eternal City, juxtaposing Filippino’s Roman artworks with their Florentine precursors and successors. The exhibition places 20 paintings, drawings, and antiquities in direct conversation. These related artworks are brought together for the first time, and numerous paintings are reunited with their studies. Each object has been carefully selected to elucidate the evolution of Filippino’s artistic practice before, during, and after his Roman period.
The Cleveland Museum of Art’s seminal tondo by Filippino, The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret, is the focal point of the exhibition. Likely commissioned by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa while Filippino was frescoing the cardinal’s chapel, this important painting is the only known independent work produced by the artist in Rome. Filippino Lippi and Rome traces the arc of Filippino’s career across time and media, constituting a unique opportunity for scholars and the public alike to discover the artistic processes and iconographic ingenuities of a preeminent Renaissance painter. Principal support is provided by the Malcolm E. Kenney Curatorial Research Fund. Major support is provided by the Robert Lehman Foundation.
