Raffaello, Le Madonne

The volume is dedicated to the Italian artist of the Renaissance Raffaello Sanzio and to his works of art portraying the figure of the Virgin Mary. For each picture depicting Our Lady the Author explains its history and client, while defining its precise historical and artistic context without making the reading heavy or dull.
Mario Dal Bello stimulates the observation of the painting with the aim of finding out its religious meaning without forgetting though the humanity expressed by these female figures. The “gallery” by Mario Dal Bello restores the pleasure to look at a work of art and to think, to feel an emotion, experiencing a dimension often forgotten.

The Author: Mario Dal Bello is a critic of art and cinema. He follows art and the entertainment world for the magazine “Città Nuova” and other cultural magazines. In 2011 he published “Lorenzo Lotto. Un incontro” with Libreria Editrice Vaticana.
