The Private Life of a Masterpiece

Filippo Lippi: The Adoration of the Christ Child

Directed by Ian Michael Jones
E1    Apr 10, 2009    50m
Painted over five centuries ago, Filippo Lippi's nativity is like no other: the birth of Christ in a dark, wooded wilderness. Its beauty inspired Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli. But it also conceals a deeply personal story. It was painted for Cosimo de' Medici, a wealthy banker who feared that his money was dragging him straight to hell.
