Raffaello: Madonna del Cardellinothe restored raphael

Love, Art & Grace
[Dolores Maria Jimenez]

Raphael’s masterpiece, The Madonna of the Goldfinch, is finally making its return to the public after a restoration that has taken 10 years to complete. An exhibition has been organised around it before it definitely returns its permanant setting in Room 26 in the Uffizi Gallery.

This is a unique occasion to discover and study this masterpiece, from the moment in which it was created to the terrible accident in 1547 that placed its existence at risk and now the restoration of today. All the results of the research in fact will be presented so as to offer the public ample information on the research and the various interventions carried out on the painting.

The masterpiece by the artist from Urbino is historically and artistically accompanied by four eloquent and significant works from the same period: the Pregnant Woman, by Raphael (1504-1508); the Nun, of Florentine school, a significant example of Raphael’s influence on his colleagues, and the Madonna, Child and the young St. John by Girolamo della Robbia (1510-1515), a glazed whose composition faithfully reproposes the Beautiful Gardener by Raphael in the Louvre. The few but emblematic works were chosen partly to give an idea of the Madonna of the Goldfinch’s historical context but also to avoid transforming it into an object of devotion.
