Description: | This copy of Raphael's Madonna della Sedia (about 1514, Palazzo Pitti, Florence) is testimony of the popularity of the artist's work beyond his lifetime. The circular composition, with the group of the Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist and angels, conveys the intimacy of motherhood. This copy was probably made in the nineteenth century for the market of tourists who came to Europe, and particularly Italy, to see such works of art. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin angel); figure Christ Child | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ After Raphael (Italian painter and draftsman, 1483-1520) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8909... | Go to resource |
