Filippo di Antonio Filippelli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Filippo di Antonio Filippelli (1460–1506) was an Italian Renaissance painter in Tuscany.
He was born in Badia a Passignano, near Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, where he was a pupil of the Florentine painter Bernardo di Stefano Rosselli. His style recalls that of Domenico Ghirlandaio, who also worked at Passignano.
Filippelli was active primarily as a fresco painter. He painted many frescoes for churches in the countryside surrounding Florence. These include:
- Saint Peter Martyr, Saints Anthony Abbot and Saint Matthew, and the Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian, dated 1484, at the Pieve di Sant'Appiano near Barberino Val d'Elsa.
- Scenes from the Life of Saint Benedict, frescoed between 1483 and 1485 in the cloister of the Abbey of Saint Michael at Badia a Passignano.
- Madonna and Child with Four Saints, a trompe l'oeil altarpiece dated 1492 in church of Sant'Andrea a Papaiano, Poggibonsi.
- The Ascension of Christ and The Annunciation, 1502, in the church of Santa Maria a Marcialla near Barberino Val d'Elsa.
- Madonna and Child with Saints Antony Abbot and Lucy, fragments of a fresco from the Pieve di Santa Maria a Coeli Aula, now at the Museo d'arte sacra di Montespertoli
