Deposition of Christ

On March - 9 - 2009

Painter: Raphael Sanzio
Colors: 90
Price: 10000 Euro
Dimensions: 45 * 46.8 cm

Raphael’s Deposition was painted for Atalanta Baglioni in memory of her son Grifonetto, who was killed in the fighting for the dominance of Perugia, and housed in the church of S.Francesco in Perugia in 1507. It remained there for 101 years, until it was removed at night with the complicity of the priest and sent to Pope Paul V, who gave it to his nephew for his collection and it thus became the property of the Borghese family. After the Treaty of Tolentino the painting was sent to Paris in 1797. When it came back to Rome in 1816, only the central scene was returned to the Borghese collection, while the three theological virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity, remained in the Vatican Museums (the ornamentation surmounting it by Tiberio Alfani is in the National Gallery of Umbria).
This large altarpiece presents the scene like a Roman relief and is inspired by the reliefs on ancient Roman sarcophagi depicting the transportation of Meleager. It is interesting to note that in his preliminary sketch the artist has drawn Christ lying in the ground, as in the painting by Perugino, but when he executed the painting he decided on the antique form of transportation, as seen in a relief he probably studied on the Montalvo sarcophagus in Florence (now in the Torno Collection, Milan). But the influence of Michelangelo can also be seen in the composition of Christ (cf. the Pietà, St.Peter’s) and the figure seen in the profile supporting the Madonna repeats a similar pose in the Doni Tondo (in the Uffizi, completed a year before the Deposition).

Portrait of a Young Woman

On March - 8 - 2009

Painter: Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun
Colors: 90
Price: 3500 Euro
Dimensions: 25 * 35.4 cm

Portrait of a Young Woman, c. 1797, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun (1755 - 1842) was a French painter, and is recognized as the most famous woman painter of the eighteenth century. Her style is generally considered Rococo and shows interest in the subject of neoclassical painting. Vigée-Le Brun cannot be considered a purely Neoclassist in that she creates mostly portraits in Neoclassical dress rather than the History painting. In her choice of color and style while serving as the portrait painter to the Queen, Vigée-Le Brun is purely Rococo.

Painter: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
Colors: 66
Solded to private collection
Dimensions: 40 * 40 cm

The Doni Tondo or Doni Madonna is the one of only three surviving panel paintings by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti (c. 1503), and the only one to be finished. It is in the Uffizi of Florence in its original frame, designed by Michelangelo himself. The painting was likely commissioned by Agnolo Doni, a wealthy weaver, to commemorate his marriage to Maddalena Strozzi of the Strozzis, a powerful Tuscan family. The painting is in the form of a tondo, or round frame, which is frequently associated with marriage in the Renaissance.

The work was created during the period after the Roman Pietà and before the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes. It was influenced by Leonardo da Vinci’s The Virgin and Child with St. Anne, as well as a work by Luca Signorelli and cameos in the Palazzo Medici. The Doni Tondo features the Holy family (the Christ child, Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph, and Saint John the Baptist. The background contains several ambiguous nude male figures. The inclusion of these nude figures has a variety of interpretations.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 – February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.
