Discover Francesco Francia (Raibolini), a 15th-16th Italian painter known for religious scenes, Madonnas & family portraits. Explore his works in Rimini & beyond!
Dating from about 1500–1510, this fine picture exemplifies the "sweetness and harmony of coloring" that made Francia a precursor of High Renaissance art. As with his contemporaries Perugino and Bellini, Francia was especially admired for what has been called a "devotional style" of painting, in which the refinement and delicacy of the technique and the serenity of the expressions made the picture an ideal focus for meditation and prayer.
