LIPPO
*56
LOMI
Vasari has ascribed the works of several P.’s to one
only, especially as some of the paintings given to
his L. are known, from documentary evidence, to
have been executed by different artists. For in-
stance, the doors of the tabernacle of S. Giovanni
in the baptistery were painted in 1313 by Lippo di
Benivieni, while certain mosaics in the baptistery
were restored in 1402 by Lippo di Corso, to whom
possibly the greater part of Vasari’s short biography
refers.
33. Lippo d’ Andrea. Flor., b. 1377, d. 14—.
S.L. 1411. In 1411 L. painted, with Niccolo di
Piero Gerini [q.vi] and other artists, the fagade of
the Palazzo del Ceppo at Prato, which had been
bequeathed by Francesco Datini to the poor of
that city. His name appears on the books of the
hospital of Sta. Maria Nuova in 1424 [Quaderno di
Cassa, S. 1422-24 (Milanesi)]. In his return to
the Catasto for 1427 [A.S.F., Cat. S.M. Nov. Gonf.
Lion bianco Campione, N. v. 77, c. 293*] L. states
that he possessed a house in the Via Valfonda,
pop. S. Maria Novella, in which he lived with his
wife, the fourth part of a house in the Via Nuova
and a vineyard at Montelupo yielding 8 barrels of
wine.
34. Lippo di Benivieni. Flor., b. 12—, d. 13—.
Phy. A. bet. 1312-20. rep. bet. 1320-53 [Cod. VII.].
m. of Neri di Binduccio, who was apprenticed to
L. for three years on Feb. 20, 1295-6 [Milanesi,
N. Doc.]. In 1313 L. painted the doors of the
tabernacle of S. Giovanni in the baptistery for the
Consuls of the Guild of “ Calimala.” He was
elected Superintendent [Capo Maestro] of these
paintings, which he was then executing and which
“ enlightened and charmed the heart and eyes of
the citizens and of all those who looked at them.”
They have long ceased to exist. Milanesi [Vasari,
San. II. 13, n. 2] attributes to L. the five pieces of
panel preserved in the Casa Alessandri, Florence.
They contain half-figures of the Virgin and Child,
SS. Peter, Paul, Benedict and Zanobi. On the
sword of S. Paul is written “ Lippus me fecit.” L.
belonged to the pop. S. Lorenzo. His brother,
Dino [q.v.], was also a P.
35. Lippo di Corso. Flor., b. 1357, d. c. 1430.
P. MO. Phy. A. July 31, 1385. pop. as Filippus
Corsi, pop. S. Lorenzo [Cod. VII. IX.]. S.L. 1393
(as Filippo di Corso). p. of Giottino? In 1402
L. and Donato di Donato, Maestro, were paid
75-I3-4 lire for restoring the mosaics of S. Giovanni
[Vasari, San. II. 13, n. 2]. L. also probably executed
the mosaics between the windows over the door
leading to the Misericordia. In 1403-3 he restored
the upper and central mosaics of the fagade of the
church of S. Miniato al Monte [Peni and Milanesi,
“ Scritt. degli Art. It.,” s.n.]. He is possibly the
Lippo P. who, on Feb. 18, 1425/6, valued a statue
executed by Donatello for the Campanile of the
Duomo, with Cola di Niccolo Spinelli, orafo, and
Andrea di Noferi, lastraniolo [Vasari, ut sup. 401,
n. 1]. L. also possibly executed the paintings
referred to by Vasari [II. 14 and n. 1] in the hospital
of S. Antonio near the Porta a Faenza, as he lived
in a house belonging to the hospital, as well as
other works in S. Giovanni fra L’Arcova in this
neighbourhood which were destroyed with the
buildings during the siege of Florence in 1527.
The latest notice of L. is said to be of 1430, when
he had a law-suit before the Tribunal of the Mer-
canzia, but there was a Lippo di Corso who assisted
Bicci di Lorenzo in 1440, in painting the Twelve
Apostles in the chapel of the tribune of Sta. Maria
del Fiore [Milanesi, “ Arte Toscana,” 270].
36. Lippo di Paolo, v.s. Agnolo di Lippo de’
Vetri.
37. Lodovico di Giovanbattista di Fran-
cesco. Flor., b. 15—, d.-. P. Phy. A. May
24, 1558, a Sta. Maria del Fiore (no fee, benefit of
father) [Cod. XII.]. S.L. (Reg. A. 1541).
38. Lombardi, Gian Paolo di Antonio. Flor.,
b. 15—, d. -. In 1594 Gian Paolo was owing
27 lire for his mat. [A.D., R. 57, c. 49]. In 1596
he had painted a panel for the Company of the
Cordigere di S. Francesco da Cortona, at Foiana,
which was valued by the A.D. [id. 57, c. 130].
39. Lomi. The first three P.’s of this family,
Baccio, Aurelio and Orazio, whose notices follow,
were the sons of Giovan Battista di Bartolommeo
Lomi, a Florentine goldsmith, who settled in Pisa
about 1550. It seems doubtful whether Giovan
Battista was twice married; possibly his first and
only wife was of the Gentileschi family [Tanfani,
“ Not. di Art.” 58, 220]. In the Registers of the
A.D. we find A. in 1585 termed “ Gentileschi ”
[No. 96], in 1605 he is styled “ fiorentino ” [No. 103,
c. 11]; elsewhere his family name of Lomi is given
[No. 98].
39a. (i) Baccio di Giovan Battista. Flor., b.
ante 1550, d. 16—. P. [Pisan school], Tanfani
[ut sup. 58, 59] states that there is no evidence of
the fresco paintings that B. is said to have executed
in the Campo Santo. In 1564 (Pisan style) he
coloured the crown (sopraccielo) of the Baldaquin
of S. Giovanni, and later seven hangings for the
Holy Sacrament in the sacristy. In 1573 P.s. he
painted for the nuns of S. Lorenzo alia rivolta a
panel for the high altar of their church, which is
now on the high altar of the church of S. Michele
in Borgo. In 1578 P.s. and the following year he
painted in the church of Sta. Maria della Spina
three pictures, which are still in situ. B. married
a Pisan wife, and in 1572 P.s. obtained the citizen-
ship of Pisa. In 1596 his son Fulvio (otherwise
? Livio [Tanfani, ut sup. 220]) was mat. in the A.D.
as a P. [A.D., R. 57, c. 139].
39b. (ii) Aurelio di Giovan Battista. Pisa, b.
Feb. 29, 1556/7, d. 1622. P. A.D. 1596 [A.D.,
R. 64, No. 7]. In Jan. 1596/7 A. wrote a letter to
the A.D. thanking them for having been elected.
