More about The Marriage of the Virgin
Inspired by a series of commissions given to Raphael’s teacher, this is a good example of the student surpassing the master. Compare the background temple of Giuseppe Lechi’s painting below to Raphael’s above.
Both are of course wonderful examples of Renaissance art, but to us Raphael’s is superior – the sense of perspective is awesome.
The painting has been in the possession of a church, a general, a hospital, the Italian state, and was almost given to France. All the moving about (and 500+ years of age!) mean it was damaged. Fortunately, the artist tasked with repairing it in the late 19th century did so in a way that preserved a lot of the original surface, meaning the piece has been much studied since and the underlying image viewed via infrared.
It is now in the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan.

Saturn Devouring His Son
0 out of 5As one of the fourteen in Goya’s Black Paintings (paintings directly created onto the walls of the artist’s home sometime between 1819 and 1823), it is a great piece to own since the artist himself did not intend to show these paintings to the public.
Lover of the macabre or Greek Mythology? Then this painting should grace the wall of your gallery.

Belshazzar’s Feast
0 out of 5A Rembrandt is a must-have in any personal collection – he was one of the greatest painters and printmakers in Europe, and the most significant in Dutch history.
If you love detailed paintings, Belshazzar’s Feast is a great example. The artist used distinctive features on the main character – from his gold and silver costume, to the chains and turban as adornments. The supporting characters lack the same extravagance, but the details on their clothing and headpieces and the objects on the table contribute to the story.
This a great conversation piece especially among art lovers who are fascinated by paintings that tell a story and convey emotions.Select optionsQuick View -
