About ‘Madonna of the Goldfinch, Rafaël’
Madonna of the Goldfinch, Rafaël
Giorgio Vasari writes that Raphael painted this panel for his friend Lorenzo Nasi, a florentine merchant, on the occasion of his marriage to Sandra Canigiani. Significantly damaged by the collapse of the Nasi house from a landslide on Costa a San Giorgio in 1547, it was restored by a Florentine artist, perhaps Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio.
Raphael was an Italian artist from the High Renaissance.
Raphael is the name by which he is now known worldwide. His real name was Raffaello Sanzio. He is also known under names like Raffaello Santi and Raffaello da Urbino. As with many artists from the Italian Renaissance, his life is described in the famous book Le Vite by the 16th century painter and writer Giorgio Vasari.
