Madonna della Seggiola by Raphael

Let's talk about Raphael, the genius from Urbino, on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of the artist's death.

Marzia Faietti, former director of the Department of Prints and Drawings of the Uffizi, presents Raphael with the same familiarity of people who have known each other for a long time, confidently telling about that miracle of painting that is the Madonna of the Chair in the Saturn Room of the Palatine Gallery at Pitti Palace.

A work that, within a perfect circle, contains the mystery of the cosmos, the secret of the sacred, the enigma of beauty.
