The Florentine poet and artist Lorenzo Lippi was a pupil of Matteo Roselli. He became a member of the Accademia del Disegno in Florence in 1630 and began to receive commissions from the Medici court; Lippi later worked in Innsbruck from 1643 to 1644 at the court of Claudia de’ Medici. Together with Salvator Rosa, Lippi founded Accademia dei Percossi (Academy of the Stricken), a society of poets, playwrights, and painters, and authored a burlesque poem entitled Il Malmantile racquistato under the pseudonym Perlone Zipoli, an anagram of his real name. Published posthumously in 1688, it came to be considered a classic of Italian literature.
