Artwork Story

“The Sistine Madonna” is an oil painting by Raphael, created between 1512 and 1513. Commissioned by Pope Julius II, it was intended as an altarpiece for the San Sisto Monastery in Piacenza. The painting features the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child, descending on clouds. Flanking them are Saint Sixtus and Saint Barbara, while two cherubs at the bottom have become iconic in their own right.

About the Artist

Raphael
Raphael (1483-1520), Italian, was a renowned Italian painter and architect of the Renaissance, celebrated for his harmonious compositions and graceful style. His most famous works include “The School of Athens” and the “Sistine Madonna.” Raphael blended Leonardo’s soft lighting with Michelangelo’s dynamic forms to create his unique approach. In Rome, he painted several frescoes for the Pope and served as chief architect of St. Peter’s Basilica. Though his life was brief, Raphael’s art left a lasting impact on generations to come.
