Мюнхен: Старая пинакотека

композиция:
Virgin is represented standing, but seen only half-length. She holds Child in Her arms, His face rests against Hers. We are dealing here with a typical example of the Eleousa type or Virgin of tenderness.
Here is what an art historian has to say about this painting:
"Raphael, in reference to the endearments between the mother and child, has always observed a degree of reserve, respect, and modesty, which contributes ... to manifest the character of holiness which the subject requires" (Karoly, 68).
"Madonna di Casa Tempi is a fine example of the victory of Florentine over Tuscan style. Type, mould of face and drapery are pure Florentine".
