Summary
Oil painting on canvas, Madonna of the Meadow or Madonna of the Goldfinch (detail), after Raphael (1483-1520). A bust-length portrait view of the Madonna in a landscape, looking down towards the left. The original full-length painting in a landscape of Madonna with the Christ Child and Saint John the Baptist of 1506 is now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. It is also known as Madonna del prato (Madonna of the Meadow) or Madonna del Belvedere after its previous location in the Viennese imperial collection. However, it also looks more like the original the Madonna of the Goldfinch of around 1505-1506 in the Uffizi in Florence.
