Description

Beauty can be a giftor a wicked temptation.So it is for Filippo Lippi, growing up in Renaissance Florence.

He has a talentnot only can he see the beauty in everything, he can capture it, paint it.

But while beauty can seduce you and art can transport youit cannot always feed you or protect you.To survive, Pippo Lippi, orphan, street urchin, budding rogue, must first become Fra Filippo Lippi: Carmelite friar, man of God.

His life will take him down two paths at once. He will become a gambler, a forger, a seducer of nuns; and at the same time he will be the greatest painter of his time, the teacher of Botticelli and the confidante of the Medicis.So who is he reallylover, believer, father, teacher, artist?

Is anything true except the paintings?
