SPECIAL EXHIBITION
Raphael: Sublime Poetry
A true titan of the Italian Renaissance, Raffaello di Giovanni Santi (Italian, 1483–1520)—better known as Raphael—matched ambition with lyricism to create works with both intellectual heft and emotional depth, a necessary skill in the complex political landscape of Renaissance courts.

About the Artwork

Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints; God the Father and Two Angels (Main Panel and Lunette of the Colonna Altarpiece) ca. 1504–5. Raphael. Oil and gold on wood (probably poplar). Gift of J. Pierpont Morgan, 1916.

Raphael painted this altarpiece around 1504/5 for the Franciscan convent of Sant’Antonio in Perugia. It hung in a part of the church reserved for the nuns, who may have insisted on its conservative details, such as the elaborately clothed Christ. By contrast, the weighty male saints reflect the progressive style developed by Leonardo da Vinci and Fra Bartolomeo that Raphael had just begun to study in Florence. The lunette above the main panel depicts God the Father holding a globe and delivering a blessing between two angels and two seraphim. For more about this painting, including a reconstruction of the altarpiece, visit its collection record at The Met website.
