The vogue started with Fra Angelica,
Fra Bartolommeo and others of the
first painters Of the era and reached
its height under Raphael. The three
great figures of the renaissance period
in art were Raphael himself, Michel
angelo and Leonardo da Ninci. Angelo
painted few Madonnas. some of them
unfinished, but they do not rank with
most of his work. Da Ninci has one or
two Madonnas that are up to his other
great paintings. But it was Raphael of
angelic face and character; Raphael,
the prince of painters of all ages, whose
MadOnnas, both in number and quality,
outrank those of any other painter, an
cient or modern.
Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" is not
only his own masterpiece, but by uni
versal consent ranks as the greatest
painting in the world Only less IA
nous than this is his madonna of
the Chair" while his LA Jardiniere,"
madonna of the Finger" and many
more are celebrated.
Raphael Sanzio or Santi was born
in 1888 and died of a fever at Rome
when thirtyseven. He was the son
of a painter and studied at one time
under PerugnO. His first work to
become famous was "The Coronation
of the Virgin" which appeared in 1903.
"The Marriage of the Virgin" was
painted the next year, shortly after
ence, where most of his Madonnas
were finished. His fame had now be-
come so great that he was called to
Rome to decorate the Vatican. 1t was
not till toward the end of his life that
Raphael developed his own style and
did his greatest work, the "Sistine
