Description
Follows the journey of the boy who would become the painter Fra Filippo.
Description
Growing up in Renaissance Florence, Filippo Lippi has a talent-- not only can he see the beauty in everything, he can capture it, paint it. But beauty and art cannot always feed you or protect you. To survive, this orphan, street urchin, budding rogue, must first become Fra Filippo Lippi: Carmelite friar, man of God. 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. Who is he really? Is anything true except the paintings?
