Description
by Carla Nicole de Petris (Author)
April 6, 2020 marks 500 years since the death of Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. When he died at only 37 years old, he left the most beautiful paintings, particularly many of Madonna and Child. One particular painting lost since 1544 when it was described by Vasari as a 1514 painting on canvas by Raffaello, for Leonello Pio da Carpi, but since then it was never seen again.
The CapodiMonte Museum in Naples describes the 1518 painting on wood as the "Madonna of Divine Love" by Raffaello, but since the eighteenth century many art historians believe that the painting on wood is by GianFrancesco Penni, Raffaello's pupil, so where is the original painting by Raffaello?
This painting was not mentioned for almost five-hundred years. Where was it? Elma believed she had an original Raffaello painting, and she wanted to know whether the story told by her aunt Anna was correct.
Nicole fell in love with this painting, and the story fascinated her. This story follows the history of the painting and the story of the research.
