Raphael, Madonna of the Meadow (1508)

Artist: Raphael

Date: 1508

Place: Florence 

For the exceptional painting of the “Madonna of the Meadow” by: Raphael (1508),  I was truly inspired and impressed at the display of pyramidal configuration which ables him to create a balance between space that was unseen. 

The meaning behind the painting was to show a warm, loving, protective but playful portrayal of Baby Jesus playing with Saint John, while being over looked and protected by his mother.  

The painting was created in Florence, where it is known to be the trademark of Raphael’s work, due to its human divine quality.
