Sharing the Medici Archive with the World.

UPCOMING EVENT! Tuesday, 16 December @ 5pm EST/11pm CET

Join curator Alexander J. Noelle for a behind-the-scenes exploration of his new exhibition, Filippino Lippi and Rome. The show offers a fresh and illuminating reconsideration of how one of the great painters of the Italian Renaissance reinterpreted antiquity during his transformative Roman years (1488–93). Now on view at the Cleveland Museum of Art, the exhibition examines Lippi’s evolving relationship to classical sculpture and architecture by juxtaposing his Roman paintings with their Florentine antecedents and successors, as well as with drawings and antiquities. Twenty-five works from major national and international lenders allow visitors to trace the arc of Lippi’s career with unprecedented clarity, culminating in the CMA’s own masterpiece, The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Margaret.
