DALMASIO LIPPO. - Also called L. delle Madonne; Bolognese painter, b. around 1352, d. between 1410 (date of his will) and 1421 (the year in which his heirs are mentioned), son of D. di Jacopo Scannabechi, himself a painter, and nephew of Simone dei Crocifissi. He was a follower of the art of Vitale da Bologna, to which he joined Tuscan and more properly Pistoian elements, owing to a stay of the painter in that city from 1580 to 1584.
He executed several images of the Virgin and Child, among them the much retouched one in the London picture gallery, the Madonna (called of the velvet) in S. Domenico in Bologna, the graceful Madonna of the church of the Misericordia dated 1397, and that in S. Benedetto of the same city. At the Pii istituti educativi of Bologna there is a large triptych with the Madonna enthroned and saints, an early work very close to Simone dei Crocifissi. In the Bolognese picture gallery there is preserved a signed Madonna of Humility and a small Coronation of the Virgin, part of a dismembered polyptych. Various sacred images frescoed on the walls of the houses of Bologna, now destroyed by time, are also remembered of him.
