The Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist and Saint Nicholas of Mari ('The Ansidei Madonna'), 1505

            By Raphael
Oil on poplar

This altarpiece for the Ansidei chapel in San Fiorenzo, Perugia, shows the Virgin and Child with saints Nicholas of Bari (on the right) and John the Baptist, who were the name-saints of the patron and his eldest son.  Raphael employs precise geometrical construction for the composition which enhances the serene, contemplative tone struck by the figures.  The architecture and landscape beyond contribute to the expansive sense of space - a deliberate compensation for the picture's original, cramped location.

Raphael
(April to July 2022)

His life was short, his work prolific, and his legacy immortal.
A painter, draughtsman, architect, archaeologist, and poet, Raphael captured in his art the human and the divine, love and friendship, learning and power.
In his brief career, spanning just two decades, Raphael shaped the course of Western culture like few artists before or since.
This exhibition, one of the first ever to explore Raphael's complete career, looks at his celebrated paintings and drawings as well as his work in architecture, poetry, and design for sculpture, tapestry and prints.
