DESCRIPTION

European school, mid-nineteenth century.
After RAFAEL DE SANZIO (Urbino, 1483 - Rome, 1520); XIX century.
"Sistine Madonna."
Porcelain KPM (probably).
Measurements: 15,5 x 11 x 0,5 cm.

Miniature reproduction of Raphael's Sistine Madonna, trying to recreate in vivid colors each of the characters. The original canvas of the Virgin, the Infant Jesus, Saint Sixtus and Saint Barbara is characterized by the imaginary space created by the figures themselves, who are standing on a bed of clouds, surrounded by an open curtain. The figure of the Virgin conveys the sensation of descending from celestial space into the physical world. The gesture of Saint Sixtus and the gaze of Saint Barbara seem to be directed at someone behind the balustrade at the bottom of the painting. It is believed that the painting was intended to decorate the tomb of Pope Julius II, as St. Sixtus was the patron saint of the Della Rovere family and St. Barbara and the two angels (at the bottom of the canvas) symbolize the funeral ceremony.
