Fra Lippo Lippi say about his early life.
Fra Lippo Lippi is an 1855 dramatic monologue written by the Victorian poet Robert Browning which first appeared in his collections Men and women.
Throughout this poem, Browning depicts A 15th century real life Painter Filippo Lippi and his early life through dramatic monologue.
Fra Lippo Lippi, introduce us to the monk as he is being interrogated by some Medici Watchmen who have caught him out of at night because Lippo's patron is Cosimo de Medici, he has little to fear from the guards but he has been out partying and is clearly in a mood to talk. He shares with the men the hardship of monastic life. He is forced to carry on his relationship with women in secret and his superiors are always defeating his Good Spirit. If he was orphaned while still a baby and starved until his aunt gave him over to a convent, but with the help of a monk, he achieved a new life to improve himself and become a good man and a good Painter.
