The work
Raphael's "Madonna Tempi", created around 1508, is an early example of his ability to combine sweetness and emotional depth. The painting shows Leonardesque influences, visible in the pyramidal composition and in the delicate nuance that models the faces. The use of color is particularly notable: the warm, rich tones of the Madonna's cloak contrast with the softer colors of the background, creating a harmonious balance. The gesture of the Madonna, who holds the Child firmly, symbolizes maternal protection and infinite love. The Child, with a lively and curious look, adds a touch of realism and humanity to the scene. The veil of the Madonna, under the cloak, is her veil as the bride of the Holy Spirit, while the veil that envelops the nakedness of the Child foretells the shroud of sacrifice necessary for the redemption of humanity. The work is appreciated for its compositional simplicity and the purity of the lines, which enhance the beauty and grace of the figures. The "Madonna Tempi" represents a crucial moment in Raphael's artistic development, early showing his ability to combine different influences in a personal and deeply expressive style.
