Madonna of the Goldfinch by Raphael at the Uffizi Gallery

Raphael accepts the approach of the pyramidal composition, the gentle effects of the soft light and the emotional dialog between the characters, revealing the elements peculiar to the painting of Leonardo. Despite that is also plain what will be Raphael’s own personal style: the extreme sweetness of the faces, particularly the Madonnas’, the masterful use of colors, the realistic reproduction of the landscape and the profound intimacy between the figures.
