The Madonna conceived by the divine Raphael is not only beautiful and sweet as a sublime Virgin and mother with her adorable Child; but next to such a perfect symbol of living and real motherhood stands the figure of John the Baptist, who presents us with the harsh sacrifices of those who prepare for life in the fresh beauty of a child. It is the work of the greatest Italian artist, and if one day the \u201cChildren’s Houses\u201d were to spread throughout the world, Raphael’s painting would speak eloquently of their homeland of origin.<\/em><\/p>\n The little children will not be able to understand the symbolic meaning of the Madonna della Seggiola, but they will see something greater in it than in other paintings depicting mothers, fathers, grandparents, and children, and they will wrap it in their hearts in a religious feeling and aspiration.<\/em><\/p>\n Maria Montessori, The Discovery of the Child<\/em>, Chapter III, section \u201cThe Environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Print on canvas, dimensions: 70 x 84 cm (plus border for framing)<\/p>\n Madonna and Child with Saint John, known as Madonna della Seggiola Authorization for printing and resale granted by the Ministry of Culture<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,46],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4829","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-novita","7":"product_cat-arredo","8":"product_shipping_class-libri","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"taxable","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
