Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino)

Succession. Madonna with the Carnation.

Italy, fr. 17th cent. Seated in an interior, Mary is handing red carnations to her son, who is sitting on a cushion on her lap; the colour and shape of the carnations allude to his impending passion. On the right is a window with a view of a wide landscape with a castle. Oil/copper. 29.3 x 23.8 cm. - Cleaned. - The painting mentioned in the older art literature was long known in specialist circles only through numerous copies and was considered lost until the early 1990s, when the version in the Duke of Northumberland's collection, previously also considered a copy, was recognised as an original. Following the purchase of the painting by London's National Gallery in 2004, there were numerous art historical and public discussions about the authenticity of the painting. As a result, the National Gallery published extensive expert reports to confirm the authenticity of the painting. - For the numerous variants and copies of the painting and the discussion about the authenticity of the work at the National Gallery, see the dissertation by Dr Ingrid Schade-Schlieder ''Die Kopien der Madonna mit der Nelke von Raffael'', Würzburg 2009.
