Two Angels Carrying Torches c. 1501

Filippino Lippi's "Two Angels Carrying Torches" (c. 1501) is a delicate pen and brown ink drawing depicting two angels in a dynamic composition. The angels, with their flowing drapery and outstretched wings, appear to be ascending, creating a sense of movement and spirituality. The use of light hatching and shading, characteristic of Lippi's style, adds volume and depth to the figures. The intricate architectural frame surrounding the angels suggests a connection to a larger project or decorative scheme. This drawing is a testament to Lippi's skill as a draftsman and his talent for capturing the essence of heavenly beings.
