It is a religious Christian painting, created by Raphaël Sanzio during the Italian Renaissance, years 1512 to 1514. It portrayed the virgin Mary, with baby Jesus in her arms and the saints, Barbara and Sixtus, on either side of her. Mary was appearing to be stepping out of the clouds of heaven, into the real world. This painting has been made very famous over the years, as have many of Raphaël's paintings. It now rests in Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden.
Artists such as Raphael and Botticelli are particularly renowned for their depictions of the Madonna. Raphael's works, including the "Sistine Madonna," showcase his mastery of composition and emotion in portraying the Virgin Mary. Botticelli's "Madonna of the Pomegranate" is another celebrated example that highlights his distinctive style and attention to detail. Both artists significantly contributed to the representation of the Madonna in Renaissance art.
