The Canigiani Holy Family or Canigiani Madonna is a piece of the changeless collection of the Alte Pinakothek, an art museum located in the Kunstareal area in Munich, Germany

It is a work of art by the Italian High Renaissance craftsman Raphael from 1508. It indicates primarily Elisabeth with child John the Baptist, Joseph and Mary with newborn child infant Jesus. These figures of the New Testament keep up eye to eye connection.

Raphael was massively gainful. He ran an expansive workshop and had his great workmanship felt even in the Vatican palace. He passed away at 37 leaving this and other great amounts of his work behind.

The oil painting was purchased from the painter by the Canigiani family in Florence for their Home Altar. The name of the painting was picked up from the Florentine family who possessed it.

Oil paint was utilized as a part of the work of art. The painting demonstrates Joseph standing over the Virgin and Elizabeth with the young ones. Joseph is therefore symbolised as the supportive father of Jesus. To understand the artistic creation and connections a great eye for detail and a keen glance are aspects to be looked out for.

Raphael combines components drawn from Leonardo and Michelangelo and mixes them with a definitively Northern scene. He accompanies this blend with sensitive colourist sections commanded by glowing tones.

The ideas of the pyramid are encased in models that Leonardo came up with but the connections felt between the figures are created through the looks they trade and through the peaceful sentiments, they impart conveying the structure onto a smooth graphics plane.

Leonardo's art is filled with tension and restlessness drawing an obvious distinction from Raphael's work. He had a magnificent illustrative capacity that then allowed Raphael to make a picture loaded with human activity and limpid quietness.

In 1982, Hubert von Sonnenburg reestablished the composition and expelled a blue over paint from the sky territory which misshapes the work of art.

Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci combine their knowledge of art and together he shapes the conventional trinity of the awesome bosses of that period.

Owning this delightful depiction of the Holy Family artistic work print by Raphael is not only a treasure generations behind you and is unsurpassed by having the piece handcrafted or fit under a premium clear glass.
