This is a very attractive Italian print featuring a glamorous, yet holy, picture portrait of the Young Virgin Mary. This picture is titled, "The Adoring Virgin" by famous Italian artist, Filippino Lippi, from Florence, Italy. From Mary’s expression, it appears she’s deep in thought, probably praying. In the foreground are mountains, village, and river. In addition, Mary’s preciously innocent face and fancy veil-type hairpiece give this picture a refreshing and youthful appeal. The print is in excellent original condition. Original, gold-painted molded wood frame. The frame is round in shape with a circular decorative pattern. The frame is in excellent original condition, but with an overall age-appropriate shabby-sheik-type wear to the finish. (see photos) Original glass, slightly torn, but all intact, original paper backing, and old metal hanger. There remains a nice original label on the paper backing that bares the artist’s name, location, title (in 3 languages), and country of origin, "Made in Italy". Circa 1950’s.

*** I’ve included some interesting information about the artist, Filippino Lippi:

Filippino Lippi, c.1457–1504, son of Fra Filippo Lippi and nun Lucrezia Buti, was a well-known painter working during the High Renaissance in Florence, Italy. Filippino first trained under his father. He soon became an accomplished painter, revealing the same mastery of color and line as his father, and in 1480, was entrusted with the completion of Masaccio's frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel, Florence. Filippino Lippi completed his apprenticeship in the workshop of Botticelli, who had been a pupil of Filippino's father. His first works greatly resemble those of Botticelli's, but with less sensitivity and subtlety. Lippi's last work is the Deposition for the Santissima Annunziata church in Florence, which at his death in April 1504 was unfinished. He was so renowned that all the workshops of the city closed on the day of his burial.
