Madonna im Grünen

Raffaello Santi gen. Raffael | 1505 oder 1506 datiert

 

The group formed into a pyramid is embedded in a delightful pasture landscape which on the one hand emphasises the world of humans; yet in the way it fades out into the far-off horizon, it appears to accentuate what is eternally valid. Thus The Madonna in the Meadow became the "icon" of the new spiritual thinking of the Renaissance.
