Raphael Madonna & Child Christmas Card
Celebrate with elegance this Christmas with one of the most frequently discussed and best-loved paintings of the Renaissance, Raphael's Sistine Madonna. Commissioned in 1512 by Pope Julius II as an altarpiece for the church of San Sisto, Piacenza, it was one of the last Madonnas painted by the artist.
Regarding the Cherubim at the bottom of the painting, according to legend, when Raphael was painting the Madonna the children of his model would come in to watch. Struck by their posture as they did, the story goes, he added them to the painting exactly as he saw them. Another story says that Raphael rather was inspired by two children he encountered on the street when he saw them "looking wistfully into the window of a baker's shop."

The quality of the glossy picture and the envelope is top notch. The custom printing was elegant. The font chosen was perfect for the card.

I really love this traditional icon Christmas card! The card really captures how I celebrate Christmas which I can share with friends and family. I especially love the back of the card as it states Merry Christmas in multiple different languages including Greek, Ukrainian / Russian, Arabic, French, English and more. This card is really something I am proud to send out during the holidays. The color of print on the card is brilliant and fantastic. The quality of paper used for the card. It actually feels like a proper Christmas card. If you want to spend money on some nice Orthodox Christmas cards, this is the one you want!

I love this card. The graphics are on the inside and back of this card. It's superb. You won't find anything like this anywhere else. The card stock is thick and impressive and the colors were spot on. The colors were printed exactly as it looks online. The gold color looks like gold.
