Some masterpieces of Raffaello Sanzio

The small Cowper Madonna

c. 1505 (120 Kb); Oil on wood, 59.5 x 44 cm (23 3/8 x 17 3/8 in); National Gallery of Art, Washington

 

Pope Leo X with two cardinals

1518 (150 Kb); Oil on wood, 154 x 119 cm (60 5/8 x 46 7/8 in); Uffizi, Florence
It was for this achievement that Raphael has remained famous throughout the centuries. Perhaps those who connect his name only with beautiful Madonnas and idealized figures from the classical world may even be surprised to see Raphael's portrait of his great patron Pope Leo X of the Medici family, in the company of two cardinals.

 

St. George Fighting the Dragon 1

1505 (180 Kb); Oil on wood, 30 x 26 cm (12 x 10 1/4 in); Musee du Louvre, Paris
