Fra Filippo Lippi (1406 -- 69) was one of the greatest artists of the early Renaissance. He was a leading pioneer of psychological realism, and his richly expressive characters are a compelling revelation of Renaissance attitudes towards human experience. With a long introductory narrative, full catalogue raisonne and digest of documents, Jeffrey Ruda provides a full, scholarly study of Lippi. Superbly produced and illustrated, this important and ambitious book presents an introduction to Lippi that can be enjoyed by scholars and non-specialists alike.
