went down a rabbit hole of this subject.

Filippo Lippi, painter and carmelitan friar, and Lucrezia Buti, a nun, meet and fall in love while she poses as model for an altarpiece. Classic.

#dont be fooled by the canon of dynamic that seemed to get more artists going. she was absolutely into it #they eventually eloped together and gained the blessing of cosimo de medici to abandon their vows. they even had kids #also the painting thats in the first 2 is a famous of his but i cant find that its actually supposed to be lucrezia #the altar piece was another one. but he did draw her in other things after too. one time as salomè too #<- so jealous its unreal #art #oh but also dont be fooled by these paintings romantic approach he was not this handsome and also she was 20 and he was way older
