Florentine school ; called by Vasari the nat- ural son of Fra Filippo Lippi by Lucretia Buti, but per- haps an adopted son (C. & C.). Vasari says he was a pupil of Sandro Botticel- li, but he was probably taught first by Fra Dia- mante. He shows high power of ex- pression and composition in the Vision of St. Bernard, in the Badia, one of the most charming pictures in Florence, painted when he was only about twenty years old. His style, though founded upon that of Fra Fi- lippo, is modified by the influence of Botti- celli. Though he occupies a lower place in the scale of art than Masaccio, as regards ability in composition, verity, and individu- ality of type, he excels him in charm and grace. Ho executed frescos in the Bran- cacci Chapel of the Carmine, Florence ; in the Strozzi Chapel, S. M. Novella ; and in the Caraft'a Chapel, Minerva, Rome. He also completed some frescos in the Brancacci Chapel left unfinished by Masaccio at his death. Those now attributed to him arc : A/lam and Eve, Peter in Prison, Martyrdom of Peter, Liberation of Peter.
