After Raphael (1483-1520), Madonna and Child with

This elegant 19th-century painting is a fine example of a work executed in the style of the High Renaissance master Raphael. The composition is reminiscent of his famous circular paintings, such as the Madonna della Seggiola. The Virgin Mary is depicted in a colorful, flowing tunic and a white headscarf, tenderly embracing the Christ Child. A third figure looks on from behind, adding a sense of intimacy and grace to the group.
The artist of this copy has skillfully captured the harmonious composition, soft modeling, and idealized beauty that are hallmarks of Raphael's style. The figures' gentle expressions and serene poses convey a sense of calm and spiritual devotion. Presented in a circular format within a finely carved, gilded frame, this painting serves as a beautiful tribute to the enduring influence of Raphael's genius on subsequent generations of artists.
