Madonna Del Cardellino II Italian Tapestry – 20 in. x 24 in. Cotton/Viscose/Polyester by Raphael

Madonna del Cardellino II is an Italian jacquard woven wall tapestry. It is an extract from Italian renaissance artist Raphael's painting, Madonna del Cardellino or Madonna of the Goldfinch completed about 1506. In this painting, as in most of the Madonnas of his Florentine period, Raphael arranged the three figures - Mary, Christ and the young John the Baptist - to fit into a geometrical design. Though the positions of the three bodies are natural, together they form an almost regular triangle. The Madonna is shown young and beautiful, as with Raphael’s various other Madonnas. She is clothed in red and blue, also typical, for red signifies the passion of Christ and blue was used to signify the church.
