The Virgin and Child with Saints Jerome and Dominic Panel #5789
by Filippino Lippi
This work by Filippino Lippi reflects the serene elegance of the Italian Renaissance, blending sacred symbolism with naturalistic detail. The Virgin is depicted with classical restraint, seated in a soft blue robe as she holds the Christ Child, who reaches tenderly toward Saint Jerome. To their side, Saint Dominic reads from scripture, his contemplative posture reinforcing the painting’s devotional tone. Lippi’s use of balanced composition, delicate modeling of flesh, and atmospheric perspective showcases the influence of his Florentine training and the broader humanist ideals of the 15th century.
Paintings like those by Filippino Lippi make good additions to a home, an office, or even a library.
