Description

The frame is hand-crafted in 21K gold with full-surface chased foliate ornamentation, presenting a sacred and noble aesthetic with consummate craftsmanship."Madonna of the Chair" is an oil-on-panel masterpiece painted by Raphael circa 1514-1515, now housed at the Pitti Palace Gallery in Florence, Italy. It stands as the pinnacle among Raphael’s numerous Madonna depictions. Its circular composition yields a tightly grouped figure arrangement. The Virgin holding the Christ Child occupies most of the picture plane, with Saint John in prayerful pose on the right. The artist conveys the profound holy familial affection by portraying ordinary earthly domestic joy. This great work has been copied by countless artists in later generations.
