About this work
Fra Filippo Lippi painted this in about 1440, aged about 29. It is now at The Met in New York.
How it was made
- Tempera
- Pigment bound with egg yolk. It dries in minutes and can’t be blended wet, so painters built up form with fine, hatched strokes. It was Europe’s main panel technique before oil.
Fra Filippo Lippi
Italian, 1406–1469 · Born in Florence; died in Spoleto.
