The Solly Madonna by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael was painted sometime between 1500 and 1504.
An early work, it clearly shows the influence of Raphael's teacher Perugino.
[1] Two motifs in this work would recur in later Madonnas by Raphael.
As in that last painting a small bird, a goldfinch, is part of the scene.
[3] It is called the Solly Madonna because it was owned by the British banker and art collector Edward Solly (1776–1848).
