Description: | Raphael's Transfiguration (1516-1520, tempera grassa on panel, 4.10 x 2.79 m, Vatican Museum) was described by Giorgio Vasari in his biography of the artist as the most famous, the most beautiful, and the most divine'. Many copies were produced that testify to the painting's fame. This small-scale copy painted in a rather flat manner on canvas, was probably produced in Italy in the first half of the 19th century by a so far unknown artist. It is likely that it was commissioned by Mrs Douglas herself. | Subjects: | religion (Transfiguration); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Raphael (Italian painter and draftsman, 1483-1520) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8795... | Go to resource |
