"Aldobrandini Madonna" №21478
Description
"Aldobrandini Madonna" is a picture of about 1509-1510 of the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael.
The painting depicts the Virgin Mary, Christ and the little John the Baptist, one of the many paintings of Raphael with this trio.
For centuries it has been owned by the aristocratic Roman family Aldobrandinini. It is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London since 1865.
The painting is one of several small and medium-sized maids painted by Raphael in Rome. It's probably something he's working on during his free time while painting for the pope. During this period, Rafael painted "Stenza dela Segnatura", the first room in the Vatican City.
The picture depicts a room on the background of the Roman landscape through the windows. The dark column between the windows highlights the bright face of the Madonna sitting on a bench holding the child Christ, and next to them is the little John the Baptist. The picture is also called Madonna del Gilio (pink carnation) because of the flower. In a sweet gesture, Christ sits on the lap of Our Lady, who took the carnation, a sign of his future suffering from St. John. John is painted with animal skin. as described in the Bible, "... camel skin and a waistband around his waist." In addition to the sweetness of the picture, it is woven by grace, beauty and technical skills.
One of the topics for discussion is the folds of the robe on Virgin's lap - they look like there is not enough room for her feet.
