Filippo Lippi at Palazzo Barberini

From 17 Nov 2017 to 18 Feb 2018

17 Nov-18 Feb. With the title Altro Rinascimento: Il giovane Filippo Lippi e la Madonna di Tarquinia, this exhibition at Palazzo Barberini celebrates the centenary of the rediscovery of Our Lady of Tarquinia, painted by the young Filippo Lippi in 1437.

The work was considered fundamental in the career of the Florentine artist as it documented a break-away from the stiffer style of Masaccio, influenced by the novelties introduced by Donatello during the third decade of the 15th century.

Lippi's masterpiece is displayed among several of his other pieces from the same era, alongside works by Masaccio and Donatello.
