Raphael's Madonnas, usually known as "Raphael's sweet Madonnas," are one of the fundamental reasons why this young artist was considered to have reached the height of Renaissance beauty.
What is the key to their beauty? It was not just about beautiful features or harmony, or the elegance of the posture. The idealization that Raphael achieves is not physical but spiritual. In their expressions there is purity, tenderness, inner serenity, motherly love.
Because, as we like to say: beauty does not only reside in beautiful things.
