The Small Cowper Madonna | Raphael Card

The Small Cowper Madonna (c. 1505) by Raphael is a Renaissance masterpiece that depicts the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child in a serene landscape. The painting exemplifies Raphael’s signature style, characterized by soft modelling, harmonious composition, and delicate colour transitions. Mary, dressed in a red gown with a blue mantle, gazes gently at the viewer while the infant Jesus sits comfortably on her lap, symbolizing maternal love and divine grace. The tranquil countryside in the background enhances the painting’s sense of peace and natural beauty, reflecting the influence of Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael’s deep devotion to religious themes.
