A stunning bronze medallion, a bas-relief sculpture depicting Raphael's Madonna della Seggiola, dating back to the late 19th century, anonymous work. The Madonna della Seggiola is an oil painting on wood (diameter 71 cm) by Raphael, dating from around 1513-1514 and preserved in the Palatine Gallery of Palazzo Pitti in Florence. Together with the earlier Sistine Madonna, it is one of only two Madonnas by Raphael in which Mary looks directly into the eyes of the viewer. This work has been reproduced by many artists, especially during the Art Nouveau period, both in bronze bas-reliefs, such as ours, and in paintings or porcelain or terracotta plaques. Our sculpture is of the highest artistic quality. Note the attention to the smallest details and the beauty of the medallion's border, also worked in bas-relief, which frames the work. The patina covering the object is beautiful and perfectly in line with our dating.
