In the art of the Italian Renaissance, the subject of the Madonna
with Child was chosen for pictures more frequently than any other.
Raphael's paintings are regarded as some of the most innovative
compositions to this day, 500 years after his death. Their
groundbreaking significance is illuminated in this volume through
comparisons with other principal works of the period, including
those by Botticelli and Mantegna. Raphael's Sixtine Madonna is one
of the most famous paintings in art history. The book traces how
the artist arrived at this pioneering composition as well as the
theological statement behind the picture and the original solutions
that he found in his early Madonna paintings. Comparisons with
Raphael's contemporaries in Bologna, Florence, Mantua and Venice
show clearly the preferred picture types of the era as well as
Raphael's highly individual pictorial language.
