Madonna & Child 19th Century Watercolour Painting
MADONNA & CHILD 19TH CENTURY WATERCOLOUR PAINTING AFTER THE ORIGINAL MADONNA DEL GRANDUCA BY RAPHAEL IN THE PITTI GALLERY FLORENCE MEASURING 11 X 14 INCHES WITH LABEL VERSO
The great Italian master, Raphael Sanzio (commonly known as Raphael) painted the Madonna del Granduca. The painting was done in 1504 using the medium oil on wood. Its dimensions are eighty four centimetres by fifty five centimetres. Currently, the painting is located at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence.
The painting was said to be somewhat influenced by Leonardo da Vinci who Raphael was later acquaintanced with. His influence can be observed in the way Raphael used sfumato. The painting derived its name from the Grand Duke of Tuscany who used to own it. This piece of art is truly a classic. It is considered as one of the most recognizable examples of the Madonna and Child.
The painting belonged to Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, from whom it got its name
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino(April 6 or March 28, 1483 –April 6, 1520 better known simply as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance
His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period,
Raphael was enormously productive, running an unusually large workshop, and despite his death at 37, a large body of his work remains. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career.
The best known work is The School of Athens in the Vatican Stanza della Segnatura. After his early years in Rome much of his work was self-designed, but for the most part executed by the workshop from his drawings, with considerable loss of quality. He was extremely influential in his lifetime, though outside Rome his work was mostly known from his collaborative printmaking.
After his death, the influence of his great rival Michelangelo was more widespread until the 18th and 19th centuries, when Raphael's more serene and harmonious qualities were again regarded as the highest models.
His career falls naturally into three phases and three styles, first described by Giorgio Vasari his early years in Umbria, then a period of about four years (from 1504–1508) absorbing the artistic traditions of Florence, followed by his last hectic and triumphant twelve years in Rome, working for two Popes and their close associates
CONDITION
Very good for the age and preserved under glass in the original decorative pladter gilt frame.
The finely executed painting has been executed by a good hand,with excellent attention to facial details,feet and hands.The painting still retails good vibrant colour and is a superb example.
FRAME
Original decorative plaster and gilt frame.
The tiny missing piece left hand side has been nicely repaired,otherwise in lovely order throughout.
DATE
Estimated to be late Victorian 19th Century.
