Description:
|
Between 1504 and 1508, while in Florence, Raphael received important commissions for portraits and for domestic devotional paintings of the Virgin and Child (larger in format than such works generally were elsewhere in Italy). The Madonna del Granduca shows the influence of Leonardo. The simple composition is a prototype for the Madonnas of Raphael's last Florentine period. The figures of the Virgin and Child emerge from a dark background (an element evidently derived from Leonardo). The painting belonged to the 17th century Florentine painter, Carlo Dolci, and then to Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Lorraine from whom its name derives.
