  • Madonna della Seggiola

     


               
                                           
    Raphael Santi ( 1483-1520 )

      Raphael ( Italian ) came to Firenze at 21 age..he respected Michelangelo
      he was 29 age , and Leonard Da Vinchi was 52 age..he was teached from 
      these masters.. but unfortunatry , he died at 37 age by a fever…
      this maria’s golden devision face and the three primary colors cloth is
      how elegant …..this is my most favorite picture about Maria ever knew ..

    @                                          Merry Christmas..

  • This is a wonderful painting! The old masters can not be outdone! The colors are perfect and the composition draws the viewer in.

    Thanks for sharing! 

  • You always post such beautiful art. Thank you.

  • Beautiful.  I share your love of paintings.  I admit, though, that my favorite is the impressionist.  Raphael seemed to already have one foot in heaven by the way that he painted. 

    My mother had a print of the Renoir.  I have a blonde sister, and I am brunette.  We studied piano when we were young, and the painting reminded her of us.

  • Hi Naomi! Thank you for remembering to visit my site! I truly appreciate that—

    May Christ-mas bring to you the true meaning of the celebration.

    I hope that I will still have the pleasure of your company here in the Xanga community. Through the years you have not forgotten to visit your Xanga friends- I thank you for that. Do take care—you have such a good heart!

    I wish for you a great year full of love, joy and peace!

  • Just dropped by to say Hi…Renoir was the artist that touched me the most of the masters….

  • Madonna and Child. :? ).  This young woman may be just like the Madonna.  Hardly more than a child herself and yet she bore the salvation of the world.  Blessings to you, my lady.  ~ mom
