A heavenly vision of the Virgin: between humanity, solemnity, and mystery

Commissioned by Pope Julius II for the church of San Sisto in Piacenza, The Sistine Madonna is one of the most famous masterpieces of Raphael Sanzio. Created between 1512 and 1513, this painting embodies a divine vision of sacred motherhood, where the Virgin Mary appears in the heavens, holding the Child Jesus in her arms, looking gravely towards the world.

This work is now kept at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany. It is world-renowned for the presence, at the bottom of the composition, of the two pensive cherubs, which have become iconic through the centuries.

A celestial composition, balanced and deeply symbolic

Majesty of the Virgin, gaze of Christ, meditative angels

The scene is organized according to a vertical structure, worthy of a divine apparition:
– The Virgin Mary, in a blue and red robe, advances in levitation, between two open curtains,
– She holds in her arms a Child Jesus with a serious and aware gaze,
– On the left, Saint Sixtus looks up at her, in a gesture of prayer,
– On the right, Saint Barbara looks down at the ground, her hands crossed,
– Below, the famous two winged cherubs, leaning on their elbows and thoughtful, watch the scene with a melancholic calm.

The background, composed of soft clouds and transparent angel figures, enhances the mystical and luminous atmosphere.

A work of tender and universal spirituality

The Sistine Madonna is one of the most profound and human representations of the Virgin Mary. She is neither idealized nor distant, but full of presence, inner strength, and silent love.
The gaze of Christ, turned towards the future, already foreshadows the Passion, while the Virgin moves forward with gravity and gentleness, as a messenger of peace and salvation.

It is a work that embodies embodied faith, sacred motherhood and the link between the divine and the human.
