Comments: As one of the most renoun renaissence artists, I sure hope taht his better peices are good. Extrodinary is more like it. Ironically, I was in the library this morning trying to find a colour copy of maddelena Doni to get a better look of the brocade work. But how glum and sad she looks.

Comments: Hello. I need to study the linear perspective of Maddalena. Can anyone provide any information for me on this? I know what linear perspective is, I just need to know where the lines go from the horizontal line and where the horizontal line is. Thanks!

Comments: This painting tickles my interest. The color that Raphael used is just magnificent. I hope to meet such a man at least once in my life time. I hear he is nothing short of the best, and this painting really shows it. I am a five year old studying art at school and I appreciate Raphael's work like it is no ohter. Dis is goode, no?

Comments: I have to do an school work about this painting and I should find lots of details about it. Agnolo and his wife were rich caracters in Florence, that's why we have their portraits by Raphael. Someone said that it was a realistic painting , but many reproched to Raphael this reality, and not a more illusionned or harmonistic painting as his contempory Leonardo made or as the madones'raphael.
