LIPPI, Lorenzo, an historical and portrait painter, and a poet, was born at Florence in 1606, and was educated in painting by Matteo Roselli. Some of his works closely resemble those of his master. His Crucifixion and Triumph of David, are his best pictures; the former of these is in the Florentine gallery. He painted a good many excellent portraits at Innsbruck, which are still to be seen there. His paintings are admired for their simplicity, elegance, and correct drawing. His genius in poetry was evinced by a burlesque, entitled Malmantile Racquistaro, published under the fictitious name of Perloni Zipoli. It appeared first at Florence in 1688, 4to, and subsequent editions were published at Florence in 1731, and at Paris in 1768. Lippi died in 1664, in the fifty-eighth year of his age.
