The front cover shows a detail of the Madonna and Child with Two Angels by Fra Filippo Lippi (1406-1469), which forms part of the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
Orphaned at a young age, Lippi entered the Carmine in Florence, where in 1424 Masaccio and Masolino began work on the decoration of the Brancacci Chapel. Lippi’s first contact with painting may well have been as assistant to Masaccio.
In 1456 he abducted the nun Lucrezia Buti from a convent in Prato to which he had been appointed chaplain. After obtaining a dispensation from Pope Pius II, Fra Filippo Lippi married Lucrezia, by whom he had a son. The son, called Filippino Lippi, was also a painter.
It was Lucrezia whose face served as the model for the Virgin in Madonna and Child with Two Angels.
