Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio Da Urbino), Madonna and Child, Ca Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), Madonna and Child, ca. 1500 Oil on panel, 33.5 x 22.5 in. (85 x 57 cm.) New York Private Collection The Discovery of an Alternate Preparatory Version of Raphael’s Madonna del Granduca: The present Madonna and Child, discovered in 2018 in a New York private collection, has been dated by stylistic and physical analysis to circa 1500, as a work of Raphael. The painting is identical to the version in the Palazzo Pitti, Florence, with the exception of physionomic changes to the faces of the two figures (Figs. 1, 2). This investigation presents evidence that the Madonna del Granduca, housed in the Palazzo Pitti, discovered in 1799 and dated to Raphael circa 1505, is a possible later variant of the New York Madonna and Child, with the imposition of slightly differing facial features. The Madonnas of Raphael are typically small, on poplar, and painted on a glue-sized primer. Altarpieces are large panels supplied by the woodcarver, primed with gesso. The New York Madonna and Child is painted on a wood panel, originally the center panel of a triptych with doors. The large panel, almost an inch thick, is of a dense hardwood, presumably supplied, as per the practice, by the legnaiolo, builder of the tavola (altar), for whom the painter is a subcontractor. Forensic study (x-rays) shows that the panel was enlarged to fit the door frame. The ground layer for the painting is the prepared gesso of the altar. Iron spikes secured the panel to the door frame; their indelicate removal created large voids in the wood. The New York Madonna presents a young, iconic Madonna’s face in the style descended from Giotto that generally characterize images of the Virgin in the early Renaissance. The Madonna del Granduca of 1505 shows faces of different physiognomy, with more expressive features that appear years older. Raphael’s technique is more developed, conveying discernible expressions. The clear focus of the eyes is a departure from the late-Gothic/early Renaissance style of Giotto. It is reasonable to conclude that the Madonna del Granduca was copied from the New York Madonna, rather than the other way around. That the copy is accurate to the brushstroke implies that the copyist accessed the original and had the opportunity to copy the faces as well, but instead painted different, more mature faces This hypothetical sequence of events is a plausible account: Raphael arrives in Florence and meets Leonardo. Upon observing Leonardo making the Mona Lisa by copying another painting, he paints a Leonardo face on a copy he makes of an old altarpiece composition. The New York Madonna, at 33.5 inches high and 22.5 inches wide, is larger than Raphael’s other early Madonnas. It is painted over a uniform black background on a 7/8-inch-thick panel of very hard, dense (0.7sg), deep red/brown, heavily worm-tunneled wood, bearing encrusted remnants of hand-wrought spikes that assemble the two parts of the panel. The surface is uniformly patterned with the dense stratified craquelure typical of fifteenth-century panels. The paint surface bears minor in-painted restorations likely made in the nineteenth century. The entire panel has been covered by a tinted varnish layer, craquelure-free, likely applied during a restoration in the nineteenth century. The entire mantle of the Madonna was overpainted with opaque blue pigment layers (note that the Madonna del Granduca has also been likewise overpainted). This overpainted tinted glaze has introduced modern pigments that have been detected above the paint layer (Fig. 7). X-rays of both panels show that the paint layer of the mantle clearly defined in the Pitti Granduca was completely removed in the New York Madonna before its repainting. The edges of the panel and X-rays reveal rows of fasteners of different periods ranging from heavily encrusted heads of three-inch wrought-iron spikes that join the two parts of the panel, to nineteenth century machined wood screws that later reinforced them. Six large triangular wedges were torn away from the edges where spikes nailed the panel directly to the door frame for the pair of altar doors and were violently removed (Fig. 9). Reports by a forensic laboratory 1) affirm the dating of the panel, paint, and varnish layers; 2) reveal a recent (nineteenth century) restoration; 3) detect the presence of modern pigments in the varnish layer; 4) note the absence of sketches or pentimenti; and 5) note the repainting of the mantle, with the removal of the original pigment layer. X-rays reveal no trace of a transferred drawing, nor pentimenti (Fig. 6). There is no known work of which this painting could be a copy. An X-ray of the Madonna del Granduca reveals a sketch of the same kind as seen in the X-ray of the present Madonna (Fig. 4). From the above evidence it is reasonable to conclude that the New York Madonna is an original work dating to circa 1500, most likely the work of the Master of the Madonna del Granduca, presumably Raphael. The New York Madonna may have rested for centuries behind the closed doors of a private altar. The Madonna del Granduca, now in Palazzo Pitti, Florence, is a 1505 variant of the New York Madonna, with a new interpretation of both faces. Figure Legend 1.

  • Raffael Santi | Elexikon
    eLexikon Bewährtes Wissen in aktueller Form Raffael Santi Internet: https://peter-hug.ch/lexikon/Raffael+Santi MainSeite 63.593 Raffael Santi 3'315 Wörter, 22'357 Zeichen Raffael Santi, auch Rafael, Raphael (ital. Raffaello), irrtümlich Sanzio,ital. Maler, geb. 1483 zu Urbino. Der Geburtstag selbst ist streitig: je nachdem man die vom Kardinal Bembo verfaßte Grabschrift R.s deutet, welche besagt, er sei «an dem Tage, an dem er geboren war, gestorben» («quo die natus est eo esse desiit VIII Id. April MDXX», d. i. 6. April 1520, damals Karfreitag), setzt man den Geburtstag auf den 6. April oder auf den Karfreitag, d. i. 28. März 1483, an. Seine erste künstlerische Unterweisung dankte er dem Vater Giovanni Santi (s. d.), den er jedoch bereits im 12. Jahre verlor, sodann einem unbekannten Meister in Urbino, vielleicht dem Timoteo Viti, mit dem er auch später enge Beziehungen unterhielt. Erst 1499 verließ er die Vaterstadt und trat in die Werkstätte des damals hochberühmten Malers Perugino (s. d.) in Perugia. Das älteste Datum, welches man auf seinen Bildern antrifft, ist das Jahr 1504 (auf dem «Sposalizio», s. unten); doch hat er gewiß schon früher selbständig für Kirchen in Perugia und in Città di Castello gearbeitet. 1504 siedelte Raffael Santi nach Florenz über, wo er die nächsten Jahre mit einigen Unterbrechungen, die ihn nach Perugia und Urbino zurückführten, verweilte. In Florenz war der Einfluß Leonardos und Fra Bartolommeos auf seine künstlerische Vervollkommnung am mächtigsten; von jenem lernte er die korrekte Zeichnung, von diesem den symmetrischen und dabei doch bewegten Aufbau der Figuren. Als abschließendes künstlerisches Resultat seines Aufenthalts in Florenz ist die 1507 für San Fancesco in Perugia gemalte Grablegung zu betrachten (jetzt in der Galerie Borghese zu Rom).

  • This Raphael Is for Real
    This Raphael is for real In the pinks: The National's Madonna. Photo: National Gallery, London For the next three months, Raphael's Madonna of the Pinks, acquired in March by the National Gallery for £22m, can be seen in our new exhibition Raphael: From Urbino to Rome, alongside 37 other paintings by the young artist. This provides an unequalled opportunity to examine the claims by Professor James Beck, reported in yesterday's Times, that this painting is not by Raphael. When a painting is as expensive as Madonna of the Pinks, it is to be expected that the gallery's decision to acquire it should be properly scrutinised. But the questions asked of the picture need to be the right ones. One person's opinion, however vociferously expressed, isn't sufficient reason to doubt a picture's authenticity. The story of the rediscovery of the painting is well known. Dr Nicholas Penny, then working at the National Gallery and the author of a major monograph on Raphael, noticed the picture on a visit to Alnwick in 1991. It had long been regarded as the best surviving copy of a lost composition by Raphael; no art historian believed it was by Raphael himself. But Penny thought it worth borrowing for examination in the gallery's scientific department. By the early 1990s, the National Gallery had recognised that a connoisseur's judgment needs to be backed up by science. Only by examining the way Raphael's painting was made could we abandon the idea that the picture was a copy. Penny found that a remarkable free drawing, very like many of Raphael's works on paper, lay under the paint.

  • An Examination of a Seventeenth- Century Copy of Raphael’S Holy Family, C.1518
    Uncovering the Original: An Examination of a Seventeenth- Century copy of Raphael’s Holy Family, c.1518. Annie Cornwell, Postgraduate in the Conservation of Easel Paintings Amalie Juel, MA Art History Uncovering the Original: An Examination of a 17th-Century copy of Raphael’s The Holy Family, c. 1518, The Prado Madrid. Introduction to The Project: This report has been written as part of the annual project Conservation and Art Historical Analysis, presented by the Sackler Research Forum at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Seeking to encourage collaboration between art historians and conservators, the scheme brings together two students - one from postgraduate art history and the other from easel paintings conservation - to complete an in-depth research project on a single piece of art. By doing so, the project allows a multifaceted approach combining historical research with technical analysis and, in this case, conservation treatment of the work in question. Focusing on the painting as a physical object with a material history, the project shows the value of combining art history with the more scientific aspects of the field of conservation. The focus of this project is a painting of the Virgin and Child with Saints Anne and John - a copy of Raphael’s Holy Family from the Prado - of unknown artist and date. It is owned by St Patrick’s Catholic Church in Wapping, where it had been recently found in a cupboard underneath the stairs. It came into the Courtauld Conservation Department to be treated by Annie Cornwell in November 2015, at which point it was in quite poor condition.

  • RAFFAELLO SANZIO Una Mostra Impossibile
    RAFFAELLO SANZIO Una Mostra Impossibile «... non fu superato in nulla, e sembra radunare in sé tutte le buone qualità degli antichi». Così si esprime, a proposito di Raffaello Sanzio, G.P. Bellori – tra i più convinti ammiratori dell’artista nel ’600 –, un giudizio indicativo dell’incontrastata preminenza ormai riconosciuta al classicismo raffaellesco. Nato a Urbino (1483) da Giovanni Santi, Raffaello entra nella bottega di Pietro Perugino in anni imprecisati. L’intera produzione d’esordio è all’insegna di quell’incontro: basti osservare i frammenti della Pala di San Nicola da Tolentino (Città di Castello, 1500) o dell’Incoronazione di Maria (Città del Vaticano, Pinacoteca Vaticana, 1503). Due cartoni accreditano, ad avvio del ’500, il coinvolgimento nella decorazione della Libreria Piccolomini (Duomo di Siena). Lo Sposalizio della Vergine (Milano, Pinacoteca di Brera, 1504), per San Francesco a Città di Castello (Milano, Pinacoteca di Brera), segna un decisivo passo di avanzamento verso la definizione dello stile maturo del Sanzio. Il soggiorno a Firenze (1504-08) innesca un’accelerazione a tale processo, favorita dalla conoscenza dei tra- guardi di Leonardo e Michelangelo: lo attestano la serie di Madonne con il Bambino, i ritratti e le pale d’altare. Rimonta al 1508 il trasferimento a Roma, dove Raffaello è ingaggiato da Giulio II per adornarne l’appartamento nei Palazzi Vaticani. Nella prima Stanza (Segnatura) l’urbinate opera in autonomia, mentre nella seconda (Eliodoro) e, ancor più, nella terza (Incendio di Borgo) è affiancato da collaboratori, assoluti responsabili dell’ultima (Costantino). Il linguaggio raffaellesco, inglobando ora sollecitazioni da Michelangelo e dal mondo veneto, assume accenti rilevantissimi, grazie anche allo studio dell’arte antica.

The first issue ofthe Occasional Papers was "The Walker Art Building Murals" by Richard V. West, then director of the museum. A second issue, "The Bowdoin Sculpture of St. John Nepomuk" by Zdenka Volavka, appeared in 1975. In this issue, Susan E. Wegner, assistant professor of art history at Bowdoin, discusses three drawings from the museum's permanent collection, all by seventeenth- century Tuscan artists. Her analysis of the style, history, and content of these three sheets adds enormously to our understanding of their origins and their interconnec- tions.
