April 18, 1504: Early Italian Renaissance painter Filippino Lippi dies.

Lippi was the son of famous painter Fra Filippo Lippi, and his style was most certainly influenced by the works of Sandro Botticelli.

🎨 "The Nativity with Two Angels", possibly early 1490s

momo - botticelli

naturalistic style that focuses on the physiognomy of humans and there is elegance in the way the works push the limits of complexity- momo as a dancer, the technicality, the sharpness and power of her moves are controlled, her emotions transcend her dance

Perciò io gli darò in premio le moltitudini,
dei potenti egli farà bottino,
perché ha spogliato se stesso fino alla morte
ed è stato annoverato fra gli empi,
mentre egli portava il peccato di molti
e intercedeva per i colpevoli.

Ne li occhi porta la mia donna Amore,...

Sì che, bassando il viso, tutto smore,

e d'ogni suo difetto ognor sospira:

fugge dinanzi a lei superbia ed ira.

Aiutatemi, donne, farle onore.

~Dante Alighieri
~Botticelli
