Fra Filippo Lippi the Carmelite painter / by Holmes, Megan,1959-(CARDINAL)811166;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-291) and index.PART I: THE CLAUSTRUM: Fra Filippo Carmelitano -- Santa Maria del Carmine and visual representation -- "Fra Filippo Dipintore" and the early Carmelite paintings -- The Frate Dipintore: monastic artistic production in Quattrocentro Tuscany -- PART II: THE SECULUM: Fra Filippo Lippi in the seculum: friar, rector, chaplain, and rogue --Painting practice -- Carmelite in name alone? Carmelite influence in Fra Filippo's mature work -- PART III: ART AND RELIGION IN FIFTEENTH-CENTURY FLORENCE: the Novitiate Alterpiece for Santa Croce -- Representing Le Suore: alterpieces for two Florentine Benedictine nunnery churches."Widely admired for his paintings of exquisitely beautiful Madonnas, Florentine Renaissance friar-artist Fra Filippo Lippi (c. 1407-69) gained renown also for his love affair with the nun Lucrezia who bore their son, Filippino Lippi, later a well-known painter himself. In this book, Megan Holmes shines new light on Lippi's life and career, from the first paintings he created while a friar in Santa Maria del Carmine to the later works he painted when living outside the monastery for the Medici family, their supporters, and other patrons. Focusing especially on the fascinating conjunction of Lippi's work as a painter and his experiences as a Carmelite friar, Holmes transforms our understanding of Filippo Lippi and of the way art was produced and viewed in fifteenth-century Florence."--Jacket.

Cloistered : my years as a nun / by Coldstream, Catherine,author.(CARDINAL)888968; St. Martin's Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)521300;
"An astonishing memoir of twelve years as a contemplative nun in a silent monastery. Cloistered takes the reader deep into the hidden world of a traditional Carmelite monastery as it approaches the third Millennium and tells the story of an intense personal journey into and out of an enclosed life of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Finding an apparently perfect world at Akenside Priory, in Northumberland, Catherine trusts herself to a group of twenty silent women, believing she is trusting herself to God. As the beauty and mystery of an ancient way of life enfold her, she surrenders herself wholly to its power, quite unaware of the complexity and dangers that lie ahead. Cut off from the wider world for decades, the community has managed to evade accountability to any authority beyond itself. When Sister Catherine realises that a mesmerising cult of the personality, with the distortions it entails, has replaced the ancient ideal of religious obedience, she is faced with a dilemma. Will she submit to this, or will she be forced to speak out? An exploration of the limits of trust, Cloistered shows us how far youthful idealism can take us along the road of self-surrender, and of how much harm is done when institutional flaws go unacknowledged. Catherine's honest account of her time in the monastery - and her dramatic flight from it - is both a love song to a lost community and an exploration of what is most compelling, yet most potentially destructive when closed human groups become laws unto themselves."--
