Confirmation of the Carmelite Rule 1432

Filippo Lippi's "Confirmation of the Carmelite Rule" (1432) depicts a scene from the life of the Carmelite order. The fresco, likely painted for a Carmelite church, shows a group of monks gathered near a chapel, possibly in a garden, as they listen to the reading of their religious rule. Lippi's painting is characteristic of the Early Renaissance style, known for its emphasis on naturalism, realistic portrayal of figures, and harmonious composition.
