RAFFAELLO Sanzio: The Canigiani Madonna

🖼 The Canigiani Madonna, 1507
Oil on wood
131 × 107 cm

Soft brushwork renders Madonna and Child in luminous pyramidal composition, with St. John and another saint flanking them in warm, golden light. This intimate devotional image exemplifies High Renaissance harmony, balancing naturalistic detail with spiritual idealization during Raphael's Florentine period.
