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.
The relief-like style observed in the altarpieces of Fra Filippo Lippiāparticularly in works such as the Barbadori Altarpieceāwas influenced by the sculptural techniques of Donatello and Jacopo della Quercia.1
Lippiās paintings from this period incorporate a pictorial effect of bas-relief, which he rendered more evident through the use of line, directly echoing the aesthetic qualities found in the works of these two prominent Renaissance sculptors.1
