1508 (ca.), Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), Madonna and Child (the "Colonna Madonna") -- Gemäldegalerie (Berlin)
From the museum label: Shortly before Raphael left Florence and rose, in Rome, to become the most important painter of the High Renaissance, he accomplished a stylistic transition: his colour shades became brighter, his movements less constrained and more lively. Unlike other successful painters of the Madonna, Raphael invented ever-new relations between the figures. No two of his pictures of Mary are the same. His patrons were apparently appreciative of that too.
