In Florence, Raphael made the largest Madonna
paintings. If there was one painting with the
slightest religious sentiment, it
should be The Tempi Madonna. Raphael
began working on it when he left Florence
and went to Rome. In 1508, Raphael was
recommended by his fellow Bramante,
and invited by Julie II to Rome to make murals
for the Vatican palace. At that time, his passion
for the creation of Madonna was still unabated.
After coming to Rome, he was commissioned
again to work out this Madonna. The
Tempi Madonna is measuring 2517cm, and now
collected in Munich Museum of
2
Antiquities.
Here the artist broke the traditional
format which existed in his previous Madonna
paintings and changed the form and composition to
make Madonna hug her children in order to
exquisitely show the parent-child love in
the world. Madonna put her face close to the
babys face, full of love. When you appreciate
this painting, you will produce a kind of
impulsive feeling and a kind of human nature of
the calf private overflowing in the painting.
This is Raphael's Madonna further secular result,
which is a big change different from the past.
We feel that the artist is trying to
explore his own personality, making the
Madonna and people's feelings come closer.
The colors of The Tempi Madonna use block
surface structure where Madonna sits in the
front side of the right. The intimate
feelings on Madonnas face are showed
very distinctly. In addition to other paintings
of Raphael, this painting may be a traitor to
his other Madonna works.
