Filippino Lippi and Rome

Filippino Lippi and Rome is a richly illustrated exhibition catalog focusing on a key phase in the career of Filippino Lippi, when his work expanded beyond Florence into the artistic and intellectual environment of late fifteenth-century Rome. Published in connection with the exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the book examines Lippi’s major Roman commissions and their significance within Renaissance painting.

Essays explore the artist’s engagement with classical antiquity, architectural invention, and expressive figuration, highlighting how the Roman experience shaped his mature style. High-quality reproductions and focused scholarly texts present Filippino as an original and inventive painter whose Roman period played a decisive role in the evolution of his art.

Published by Yale University Press, this hardcover catalog serves both as a record of the exhibition and as a standalone reference for collectors and readers interested in Italian Renaissance art.
