Fra Filippo Lippi
Madonna and Child, tempera on poplar panel by Fra Filippo Lippi, c. 1440; in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., 79 Ć 51.1 cm.
Fra Filippo Lippiās second Coronation of the Virgin, executed around 1444, marks a significant stylistic evolution in his work. While his earlier paintings were heavily influenced by the plastic values and structural weight associated with Masaccio, this later piece demonstrates a transition toward the serene, limpid chromatics characteristic of Fra Angelico.1
