FRAMING INFORMATION
1st Art Gallery offers the option to receive your painting ready to hang or rolled in a tube.
Currently, for safety, we're able to ship framed paintings only up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached, the framing option is automatically disabled.
However, if you are interested in stretching or framing a painting larger than 24x36 inches (60x90 cm), please contact one of our customer success associates or let us know in your order notes. We will send you a catalog of our large framing styles and pricing options.
Unframed rolled canvas orders will arrive rolled inside a protective tube with an extra 1.5" white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it locally.
Raffaello Santi was born in 1483 and lived his early years in the city of Sanzio in the Urbino region, Italy. Later named just as Raphael, the son of Giovanni Santi has shown great talent and potential since his childhood, learning the basic techniques with his father and later sharpening his skills while he was under Perugino’s tutelage.
Pietro’s workshops were based both in Perugia and Florence, which made the transition to the second phase of his career smoother. Living in the capital of the Tuscany region, Raphael learned fast and absorbed the local culture and Florentine art, without losing his personal characteristics. The artist had the opportunity to stay closer to Leonardo Da Vinci, observing his paintings and frescoes, learning much from his influence. Another artist that is referenced in Raffaelo’s work is Michelangelo, forming the famous trinity of great masters of the Renaissance.
The artist then moved to Rome, commissioned first by Pope Julius II, and after his death, by Pope Leo X. He was responsible for multiple masterpieces in those years, with a special commendation to the Stanza Della Segnatura, the Raphael Cartoons, and the Loggia on the Vatican.
Housed at the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, this magnificent oil painting displays some of the most sacred characters from the Holy Family. Saint Joseph, standing and quiet and thoughtful, exchange looks with Saint Elizabeth. She holds Saint John the Baptist with care while they have a conversation.
Sitting at the right side of the canvas is the Virgin Mary, who is helping a rotund and youthful Jesus to stand. The virgin mother is wearing blue embroidery silk, set against a red gown. With all the characters together, they form a triangular shape. Her red gown relates to Christ’s death, and the blue cloth symbolizes the Holy Church.
This masterpiece is part of a set of paintings that portrays the meeting between Jesus Christ and his Apostle, John the Baptist. It is assumed that Christ was seen by Saint John as a savior even while they were infants. This delicate work of art was commissioned by Pope Leo X and sent as a gift to King Francis I, from France. The addition of the saints and the way they were drawn is a reference to Queen Claude’s pregnancy. The painting is now housed at the Louvre museum.
