Madonna del Cardellino Italian Tapestry – A Renaissance Masterpiece for Your Wall

The Madonna del Cardellino Italian Tapestry brings the classical beauty of Renaissance art into your home. Based on the famed work by Raphael, this tapestry is a richly woven wall hanging that captures the serene presence of the Virgin Mary, the Christ Child, and the young John the Baptist — a composition beloved for its harmonious balance, sacred iconography, and spiritual symbolism.

Woven with meticulous craftsmanship using high-quality fibers and finished with a lined backing and hanging tunnel, this piece offers the depth, texture, and timeless grace expected from a premium tapestry wall art.

Iconic Religious Imagery & Symbolism from the Renaissance

The original painting Madonna del Cardellino (c. 1505–1506) is celebrated for its balanced triangular composition: Mary, Christ, and John the Baptist are arranged in a gentle pyramid — a signature structure of Raphael’s Florentine period.

In this tapestry, Mary’s traditional red and blue robes — symbolizing Christ’s passion and the church — are faithfully reproduced. The Christ Child lovingly touches a goldfinch held by John, a subtle but profound symbol: the goldfinch traditionally represents the future suffering and sacrifice of Christ (its red spot referencing Christ’s blood), reminding viewers of divine love, redemption, and sacrifice.

Authentic Woven Tapestry Craftsmanship — Durable & Elegant Wall Art

This is not a print — it’s a genuine jacquard-woven tapestry. The design is woven thread-by-thread, preserving texture, depth, and richness of detail that give the piece a classical, museum-quality appearance. Many of the “Italian tapestry wall hanging” offerings following this tradition are crafted with a blend of cotton, viscose, polyester or similar fibers, then backed and finished with a hanging tunnel for easy installation.

As a religious tapestry wall art piece, it’s built to last — offering color, structure, and visual integrity over years of display, whether in a home chapel, living area, or study.
