🖼 Angel (fragment of the Baronci Altarpiece), 1500-01
Oil on wood
31 × 27 cm

Soft brushwork renders an ethereal angel in three-quarter view, delicate features framed by luminous curls against shadowed background. This fragment showcases Raphael's mastery of divine beauty and reveals the grandeur of the lost Baronci Altarpiece, a Renaissance masterwork.
