Fra Filippo Lippi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a painting of the Virgin and Child with Angels by Fra Filippo Lippi. The painting is an arched panel with a dark brown border. The Virgin Mary is standing on the right side, wearing a blue robe with gold trim and a white veil covering her blonde hair. She has a large gold halo around her head and is looking down at the baby Jesus. The baby Jesus is being held by three angels on the left side of the painting. The angel on the left is wearing a red robe and the other two are wearing blue robes. All three angels have gold halos around their heads. The background of the painting is a landscape with trees, buildings, and a blue sky with a white dove. There are flowers and greenery at the bottom of the painting, along with an open book.
