LIPPARINI, LUDOVICO, born at Bologna, Feb. 17, 1800, died at Venice, March 10, 1856.

LIPPI, FILIPPINO, born at Prato in 1457-58, died in Florence, April 18, 1504. Florentine school; called by Vasari the natural son of Fra Filippo Lippi by Lucretia Buti, but perhaps an adopted son (C. & C.). Vasari says he was a pupil of Sandro Botticelli, but he was probably taught first by Fra Diamante. He shows high power of expression 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 Filippo, is modified by the influence of Botticelli. Though he occupies a lower place in the scale of art than Masaccio, as regards ability in composition, verity, and individuality of type, he excels him in charm and grace. He executed frescos in the Brancacci Chapel of the Carmine, Florence; in the Strozzi Chapel, S. M. Novella; and in the Caraffa Chapel, Minerva, Rome. He also completed some frescos in the Brancacci Chapel left unfinished by Masaccio at his death. Those now attributed to him are: Adam and Eve, Peter in Prison, Martyrdom of Peter, Liberation of Peter. Among the best of his easel pictures are Madonna with Saints (1485), Adoration of Magi (1496), Uffizi, Florence; Death of Lucretia, Palazzo Pitti, ib.; Madonna and Angels, Palazzo Corsini, ib.; Madonna with Saints, S. Spirito, ib.; Altarpiece, S.
